WINERY
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. Efforts by current
owner Philippe Austury to revitalize the estate have made
Peyrassol now, more than ever, synonymous with great
wines and celebrated generosity.
WINE
Produced from the younger vines of the estate with some
fruit purchased from neighboring grape growers to bring
more complexity. This very accessible rosé is an excellent
introduction to the Peyrassol style with its intense
fruitiness and delicate style.
VINEYARDS
We carefully select the best terroirs, the finest grapes
and share best practices with our partner winegrowers to
create authentic wines that reflect the DNA of Peyrassol.
We made the choice to use only 100% Organic grapes. A
demanding and uncompromising sourcing allows us to
offer you the best of Provence.
VINTAGE NOTES
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.
WINEMAKING
Harvest takes place at night to preserve acidity. On arrival
at the winery, fruit is immediately destemmed and pressed
in a closed tank. A 24h cold settling is followed by the
alcoholic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless
steel tanks. The wines age several months in stainless
steel vats on the fine lees to preserve the freshness of the
aroma.
TASTING NOTES
Pale pink and delicate. Notes of small wild berries mingle
on the nose with a hint of juniper. This spicy touch supports
a palate built on liveliness reminiscent of exotic citrus fruit.
The whole is harmonious, clean and refreshing.
