A “grown up” rosé with a beautiful grip and rich mouthfeel. Red currant, sweet rhubarb and spices… a far cry from the nearby Provence rosés. 40 year old Syrah vines are organically-grown in stony clay-limestone soil. Grapes are carefully hand-picked , spontaneously fermented and vinified in barrels followed by 3 months aged in barrels. A tiny dose of SO2 at bottling. If you like “chillable” red wines, this rosé is for you.

Based in the remote hilltop village of Merindol-les-Oliviers at 600 metres altitude, on the border of Drome-Provencal and Vaucluse, Elodie Aubert owns some of the highest vineyards in southern Rhone. She inherited Clos des Cimes in 2007, becoming the 6th generation of her family to farm the estate, which includes a variety of fruits, nuts and livestock. Her father converted the vines to organic farming back in 1994, but her approach is even more natural.
Elodie trained in oenology and viticulture in Switzerland, where she learned more about altitude farming as well as adopting natural wine philosophies that focus on the vineyard, not just winemaking. This dedication to natural principles has led her to work with a wide range of grape varietals, many of which are not found anywhere in the region, but allow her to be creative and adapt to the unique microclimates on her mountainous vineyards.

These wines are truly special and express the terroir of the land that provides for her family.
