Château Galoupet Cru Classé de Provence 2023 Organic Rosé
Description
Château Galoupet, a prestigious Provence Cru Classé estate, was revitalised in 2019 by Moët Hennessy. The estate spans 77 hectares of woodland and 69 hectares of vineyards. The estate’s rebirth is spearheaded by Jessica Julmy, who envisioned it as a haven for biodiversity. The 2023 vintage of this wine marks the third release of this newly reimagined rosé, crafted from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Tibouren, Rolle and Cinsault. It boasts rich and expressive notes of mango and pineapple, with a touch of grapefruit zing. It's a balanced mix of exotic and Mediterranean flavours, finished with a silky texture and a hint of salinity. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from a zesty tuna tataki to a delicate apricot tart.

"Biodiversity:
Caring for nature from ground to glass through our organic rosé wine, sustainability is deeply rooted in our vision at Château Galoupet. We believe that sustainable wine and restoring our dialogue with nature are fundamental to creating and contributing to the preservation of a sanctuary for biodiversity, as well as crafting exceptional Côtes de Provence wines to inspire a new generation of winemakers and wine lovers. We work to help indigenous wildlife to flourish, with bees at the heart of our sustainable ecosystem, while also supporting neighbouring winegrowers as part of an ever-growing community with shared values.
Water Management
A vital component of our organic winemaking process and sustainable winery relates to water management. We track irrigation closely and constantly, maximizing rainwater infiltration and restoring the onsite reservoir to use collected rainwater in the future. To combat erosion, we use regenerative hydrology as well as sustainable viticulture practices. The estate's agroforestry hedges and interstitial strips also enrich the soil and provide shade in the same way as our plant cover. Furthermore, the vines are trained to draw water from deep underground. We carefully monitor our consumption, which is managed by a precision irrigation system.
A Regenerative Future
At Château Galoupet, our agro-ecological approach to sustainable wine employs one of the most stringent organic wine making practices. Every year, we plant cover crops to enrich and protect the soils, as well as encourage development of micro-organisms. We practice agro-forestry, planting green corridors with indigenous trees hedges. At Château Galoupet, we are researching drought-resistant grape varieties and use lighter wine bottle packaging. We also work with partners to help safeguard the local flora and fauna.
Sustainable Packaging
Our commitment to sustainable wine goes beyond the vineyard and winemaking to eco-friendly wine bottle packaging as well. Due to the reality that packaging accounts for 40% of carbon emissions in the wine industry, we made it our mission to find a more sustainable alternative to a regular bottle, more sustainable wine packaging in line with our long-term vision to serve as custodians of the land. Château Galoupet Cru Classé Côtes de Provence is presented in a distinctive and lightweight (499g) amber bottle made from 85% recycled glass. Not only does doing so prevent waste, but it also saves energy during the production process and transportation. This would not have been possible without our partners who supported us in the development and creation of this lightweight bottle, with full traceability and transparency.
Transparency Platform
Transparency is at the heart of Château Galoupet's commitment to ethical and sustainable production. We contribute to preserve biodiversity in Provence while inspiring a new generation of wine lovers. In collaboration with Product DNA, we ensure complete traceability of our Côtes de Provence wines: from the origin of raw materials to their transformation into wine. Every step of our process, from bottle creation to ingredient sourcing, is shared with full transparency."
