🌿 Terroir and expertise:

Based in Saint-Christol, Domaine Coste Moynier grows its vines on rounded pebble soils of Villafranchian origin. For several decades, the estate has maintained its expertise in producing pale rosés, particularly favoring Cinsault, a traditional grape variety of Southern France. For this cuvée, the Cinsault and Grenache are harvested and then vinified separately to achieve optimal ripeness. The blend is then made in December, according to the desired aromatic balance. A working method that preserves the expression of each grape variety and builds the unique profile of this rosé.
