Château d’Astros Amour Rosé 2024 Magnum 1.5L is the signature rosé from Château d’Astros in a festive large format. This Côtes de Provence rosé is made from Grenache, Cinsault, and Tibouren, combining the elegant freshness of Provence with more volume, structure, and gastronomic depth than a light terrace rosé.
Château d’Astros is located in the Var, in the heart of Provence.
Location / Origin: The wine comes from AOP Côtes de Provence, an appellation renowned worldwide for dry, light, and refined rosé with Mediterranean fruit expression.
Vineyard Area: The estate is situated within a 600-hectare nature reserve, 80 hectares of which are planted with vines. This combination of vineyard, nature, and biodiversity plays a significant role in the style of Château d’Astros.
Soil: Château d’Astros works with two main soil types. Alluvial soils along the Argens river yield light, fruity, and fresh wines, while drier clay-limestone soils provide aromatic concentration and extra depth.
Climate & Influences: The 2024 vintage began challenging, with a wet winter and spring frost, followed by a milder summer without prolonged extreme heat. This allowed the grapes to ripen while retaining freshness and aromatic precision.
Vineyard & Harvest: The 2024 harvest ran from August 22 to September 28. Due to lower yields, careful work was done parcel by parcel to maintain optimal ripeness and balance.
Amour Rosé is crafted as a refined and structured Provence rosé, perfect for both aperitif and dinner.
Vinification Style: The style focuses on elegance, fruit purity, and a silky-smooth texture. The fresh citrus line keeps the wine lively, while ripe fruit and subtle spiciness provide extra depth.
Magnum Format: A 1.5L magnum typically develops more slowly than a standard bottle. This allows the wine to remain fresh longer and enhances the balance between fruit, structure, and spiciness, making it particularly suitable for dinner or festive occasions.
The blend combines Provencal roundness, freshness, and spicy refinement.
Grenache – Côtes de Provence: Grenache gives this rosé its ripe fruit, soft roundness, and Mediterranean suppleness.
Cinsault – Côtes de Provence: Cinsault brings lightness, freshness, and refined fruit expression to the blend.
Tibouren – Côtes de Provence: Tibouren is a characteristic Provencal grape variety that adds spiciness, finesse, and extra regional character.
