    Estate

    Domaine Peyre Rose is recognized for its commitment to producing wines from the South of France that authentically express their terroir. Although less publicized than some grand crus, this estate demonstrates traditional expertise and rigorous viticultural practices.

    Vineyard

    This Vin de France comes from a vineyard located in the southeastern region, known for favorable climatic conditions for Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The Mediterranean climate ensures optimal ripeness and aromatic richness in the grapes.

    Wine

    This red wine features a traditional blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, offering complexity and a balance between fruitiness and tannic structure. While it has not received specific ratings from Robert Parker or La Revue du Vin de France, the wine nevertheless provides a faithful expression of its origin.

    Vintage

    The 2011 vintage was marked by favorable climatic conditions in southern France, allowing good healthy ripening of the grapes. This vintage is characterized by an interesting balance and good aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    Though precise details on vinification and aging are not provided, it is likely that the wine was aged in tanks or partially in barrels to highlight the freshness and aromatic expression of the Mediterranean grape varieties.

    Characteristics & Tasting

    Tasting

    • Appearance: Deep red color with purple highlights, reflecting the wine's relative youth.
    • Nose: Aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by sweet spice notes and a subtle touch of oak.
    • Palate: Round and warm attack, supported by soft tannins and a fresh balance; the finish reveals herbal notes typical of Mourvèdre.

    Serving

    Serve at 16-18°C. Decanting for one hour is recommended to open the bouquet and soften the tannins, especially if consumed young.

    Food Pairings

    This wine pairs well with aged rib steak, herb-crusted rack of lamb, a gratin of Mediterranean vegetables, and a well-aged Brillat-Savarin cheese.

    Occasions

    Suited for friendly gatherings, informal business meals, or convivial Sunday family lunches.

    Aging Potential
