Château la Tour de L'Évêque from the enchanting Provence is known for its excellent rosé wines, including the famous Petale de Rose, which was named the best rosé from France in 2023.

The Petale de Rose rosé is a jewel in the Château la Tour de L'Évêque range. This wine is mainly made from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, grapes that thrive perfectly in the sunny and Mediterranean climate of Provence. The result is a wine with a delicate and refined taste, which beautifully reflects the terroir of Provence.

Behind this remarkable wine is a passionate and talented winemaker: Régine Sumeire. She has taken the winery to new heights since taking over. One of the pioneers of rosé wines in Provence, Sumeire combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques to produce high-quality wines. For example, she was the first winemaker to produce the world-famous light pink rosé shade that has now set the tone not only in Provence but is being adopted all over the world. Her passion and dedication are evident in every bottle that leaves the winery.

The Petale de Rose rosé offers a refined tasting experience. The bouquet is elegant and expressive, with aromas of white peach, citrus fruits and subtle floral notes. When tasted, the wine reveals a lively acidity, combined with a soft texture and flavors of ripe red berries, lime and a hint of minerality. The aftertaste is long and refreshing, which makes this rosé ideal for summer days and a wide range of dishes.

Château la Tour de L'Évêque and its Petale de Rose rosé embody the essence of Provencal life. Thanks to the expertise of Régine Sumeire, this winery remains a leading name in the world of premium rosé wines.
