Production
Grapes are grown on 25 year old vines with yields of 50hl/ha. Rolled Durance pebbles (the Durance river flowed through the valley well before the Rhône) pepper the vineyards, retaining heat and ensuring even ripening. Grapes are cooled on reception prior to being destemmed and the free run juice is again cooled before fermentation at 18ºC. The wine is aged on its lees for 3 months.

Tasting notes
A pretty, aromatic nose with ripe raspberry and cranberry flavours on the palate and nicely balanced with just enough bright acidity to counter the tasty, southern fruit. Great with or without food.
Food match
A versatile rosé to drink on its own or with grilled fish, salads and spicy pasta.

Meet the producer
The estate was founded in the 11th Century by the hermits of Sainte Cécile d'Estagel Abbaye and it made wine for pilgrims en route to Santiago de Compostella. The estate encompasses 80 hectares of sunny, south-facing vineyards planted on sandstone soils and benefitting from Mediterranean breezes that cool the vines in the summer.
We have a close relationship with owner Jérôme Castillon and he has been instrumental in crafting some of our own wines. Savoir-Faire Mourvèdre is produced from his fruit, by our winemakers, in his cellar. For his own wines, Jérôme restricts the use of oak influence as much as possible and new oak is not used. Favouring old oak, he purchases our old oak tronconique fermenters when we renew them at Domaine Boutinot in Cairanne.
[The estate's name changed from Château l'Ermitage to Château L'Ermite d'Auzan in 2020]
