Commanderie de Peyrassol is located in the foothills of
the Massif des Maures mountain range, 10 miles from
the Mediterranean Sea, between Cannes and Marseille.
Existing as a winery for almost 800 years, Commanderie de
Peyrassol has thrived as a sanctuary for gathering travelers,
all the while holding true to its values of hospitality and
conviviality. The estate consists of 1,000 hectares with 95
hectares planted to vineyards cultivated on dry, rocky clay
and limestone soils. With effort from the current owner,
Philippe Austury, to revitalize the estates centuries old
reputation, Peyrassol is now, more than ever, synonymous
with great wines and celebrated generosity across the
world. With a long history of producing Provençal wines, the
Commanderie started to develop wines partly sourced
from neighboring properties. Selecting the terroirs, the
varietals and specific plots allows the winery to remain true
to the Peyrassol DNA. This fine, fruity and charming rosé
cultivates lightness with art. It accompanies all the good
times of summer. The 2025 vintage began with a cool, wet winter and a
stormy, unevenly rainy spring, followed by a hot summer
with heatwaves in early July and late August that
accelerated ripening. Coastal sites began harvest by midAugust—nearly two weeks earlier than 30 years ago—
while inland Provence, especially the limestone plateaus,
ripened more gradually depending on soil water reserves.
In the cellar, careful temperature control was essential to
balance naturally sugar-rich musts. The resulting wines are
generous and well-balanced: rosés and whites retain bright
freshness, while reds show power and concentration. Its pale pink color with salmon hues reveals a charming
nose displaying the nuances of ripe grapes. With aeration,
it evolves into more intense aromas of stone fruit (apricot,
white peach). Fresh and delicate, the palate offers a
smooth, fleshy texture. Notes of white peach and apricot
are juicy. The finish is round and delicious, balanced with a
bright touch of acidity
