M de Madrague Rosé 2024 is an organic Provence rosé for sunny moments, a seafood lunch, or an aperitif when you want to serve something fresh, light, and stylish. The estate is located near the beaches of Gigaro, in the vicinity of Saint-Tropez, and it is precisely this coastal location that immediately gives this wine its Mediterranean appeal. The wine bears the appellation Côtes de Provence AOP. What is Côtes de Provence AOP? It is the official quality designation for wines from the largest and best-known rosé region of Provence.
The charm of this rosé begins on the coast of Provence.
- Location / Origin: The estate stretches across La Croix-Valmer and Gassin, directly near Gigaro and close to Saint-Tropez. This places the wine in one of the most appealing coastal zones of Provence.
- Climate & Influences: Côtes de Provence broadly has a Mediterranean climate, where topography and sea influence play a clear role. For an estate located so close to the coast, this is perfectly suited for a rosé with freshness and a subtle saline note on the finish.
- Vineyard Area: La Madrague covers 30 hectares of vineyards. This gives the estate a serious presence in this part of Provence.
- Sustainable Practice: The estate operates organically and explicitly promotes this. This aligns beautifully with the clear, pure style of this cuvée.
The blend aligns precisely with what you would expect from a classic Provence rosé. Côtes de Provence even explicitly names Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah as a classic composition for rosé from the appellation.
- Grenache – Côtes de Provence: Grenache gives the wine its round, accessible fruit core and provides a soft, sunny start.
- Cinsault – Côtes de Provence: Cinsault brings refinement and keeps the wine light-footed and elegant.
- Syrah – Côtes de Provence: Syrah adds extra aromatic depth and helps to give the wine more grip and character.
