Chateau Val Joanis Luberon Rose

Just 20 kilometers from Aix-en-Provence lie the vineyards of Château Val Joanis Luberon. While this region falls within the Rhône, it shares the characteristics of a Provence rosé. In 1977, a new era began for Château Val Joanis, as the winery underwent a modern transformation. Significant investments were made in new techniques, and the vineyards were overhauled. All of this has proven fruitful for this beautiful French winery, which has become the king of the Luberon. After all, they produce the finest wines in the region, all characterized by smoothness and purity.

Isn't this latest rosé from Château Val Joanis a beauty? The bottle alone is a true gem. The content is also of unparalleled quality, but that's not something you can take for granted, says Château Val Joanis. The vineyards for this rosé are spread across the Luberon region and are characterized by southeast-facing slopes with clay and limestone soils. The grapes are a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle, and Syrah, all sourced from very old vines growing at an altitude of up to 400 meters. The climate here is perfect for a fresh and, above all, pure harvest, all of which we taste in this Château Val Joanis Luberon Tradition rosé.

The smell and taste of the Chateau Val Joanis Luberon rosé

We opened the beautiful bottle and immediately received a lovely, vibrant aroma of peaches and a hint of citrus peel. Pouring revealed a light pink color with a hint of orange. Nosing the glass, we noted wonderful nuances of red berries, lime, ripe peach, and a touch of grapefruit. Everything was very inviting, and the palate of this rosé was incredibly refreshing, with the fruit delightfully stimulating. Delicate red fruit flavors like strawberry and raspberry, complemented by notes of red flowers and peaches. The finish was soft and refreshing, making it very inviting.
