Tucked away in the foothills of the Massif des Maures, the winery has nearly 95 hectares of planted vines dedicated almost entirely to the production of pink wines. Peyrassol has been making wine for over 800 years, started by the Knights Templar in the 13th century.
The vineyards are planted up to 1000 feet in elevation, surrounded by groves of olive trees and ancient oaks. The soil here is special. A mixture of limestone and clay, the dirt here traces back to the Triassic era.
Planted throughout are the traditional Provence grapes used for making the most racy and interesting Rosés. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre, even Vermentino… it’s all here and farmed organically. No shortcuts taken, no expenses spared.
The Reserve des Templiers Rose is racy blend of 30% Grenache, 25% Cinsault, 20% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Vermentino. The wine is pale pink in color with notes of small wild berries on the nose complemented by a hint of juniper. This spiciness lends weight to the liveliness on the palate reminiscent of exotic citrus fruits, creating a crisp, harmonious and refreshing ensemble. Spice lingers on the palate for a full and round finish.
It’s definitely a serious Rose – the kind that you should feel comfortable enjoying all year round.

97 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Vinous – 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2019 Oublié is a blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Tannat and Petite Sirah with a medium ruby-purple color. The nose offers gregarious mixed berry preserves and accents of potpourri, mint and fragrant earth. The palate offers juicy appeal and powerful fruit with loads of spice and floral perfume, bursts of freshness and firm, pleasantly rustic tannins, finishing very long.” -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
Recently Wolffer Estate has expanded their famous Rose line to now include a Cotes de Provence Rose. For my money, it’s hands down a better bottling – an energetic and super fresh pink wine created from the French staple Rose grapes of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as opposed to the Long Island version that has a whole lot of varietals mixed in. It’s bright and balanced and the perfect treat for the pool or beach as the weather warms.

“The 50% Moscato Bianco, 50% Brachetto is one of the most distinctive sweet wines in all of Italy. Exotic floral and spice accents soar out of the glass. Rose petal, mint, sage, dried herbs and hard candy play off bright acids and an overall feeling of crystalline energy.” -Antonio Galloni
