The Château de l’Aumérade is a 400-year old estate located in in the heart of Provence. Originally belonging to the Aumerat family, the traditional Mas property dates back to the Renaissance period. In 1594, the Duke of Sully, Henry VI’s finance minister, presented the Château with a Mulberry tree and Plane trees for their luxurious gardens, as a gift for supplying the Royal Court. In 1930, a young Henri Fabre and his wife Charlotte, fell in love with the Château de l’Aumérade, with its 300 hectares of estate vineyards and purchased it from the Aumerat family. The Château was designated as a Cru Classé when the Provence appellation was created in 1955, a system classifying the wine estate rather than the vineyard area. It is one of only 18 that still remain in the designation. The Château has been handed down though the family and is currently run by Caroline Demey.
Cuvée Marie Christine Rosé is a shimmering pale pink colour. The nose is both velvety and elegant, expressing delicate notes of redcurrant, bringing freshness and indulgence. This velvety sensation continues harmoniously on the palate. The finish is marked by a subtle hint of minerality on the tongue and offers excellent length.
