New launch! Owned by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and his Supermodel & singer-songwriter wife, Carla Bruni, and Jean-Guillaume Prats of Château Lafite fame.

Decanter "Château d’Estoublon has a long winemaking history, and is today owned by some of France’s big names, including Jean-Guillaume Prats of Château Lafite fame, and former President and First Lady Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni. This is only the second vintage of Roseblood, a blend of Grenache and Cinsault with a dash of Tibouren. It’s impressive, a similar price to Whispering Angel but with more going on and real depth of flavour: tart strawberry and raspberry, with floral notes of peonies, some firm peach and apricot fruit, and a mineral streak. Serious rosé but so delicious. "

Decanter World Wine Awards "Evocative nose of bruised apple, toffee and ginger with hints of honey and exotic spices. Rich and broad palate with smoky wood supporting the ripe fruit. Long white pepper finish." (2017 vintage)

Gilbert & Gaillard "Bright gold. Rich nose of ripe white fruits layered over toasted vanilla and pastry pie notes with white pepper. Powerful palate boasting volume yet also full body. Impressive range of balanced aromatics. A wine for gourmet foods." (2016 vintage)

Winemaker "On the nose, this wine offers remarkable aromatic intensity with beautiful freshness, aromas of yellow fruits and white flowers highlighted by a touch of anise. On the palate, the attack is frank and mineral. Notes of yellow peach and vanilla blend harmoniously. A subtly spicy finish (cinnamon) with delicate nuances."

Nestled in the heart of Provence, France, Château d'Estoublon was established in 1489 and embodies the best of French elegance, a legacy of wine-making excellence, and the essence of Provence's terroir and heritage.

Château d'Estoublon wines benefit from the region's unique microclimate and limestone-rich soils, imparting wines with unparalleled depth and complexity. From the sun-kissed slopes to the cool, mistral-kissed valleys, each parcel of land contributes to the harmonious symphony of flavors found in every bottle.

Château d'Estoublon combines traditional winemaking and contemporary techniques, to create wines of exceptional quality and character. From hand-harvesting the estate grapes, to its comittment to sustainability, and organic agriculture, the estate is currently converting to biodynamics.

Provence is a wine region in the far southeastern corner of France best known for the quality of its rosé wines and for its warm, mild climate. The vineyards of Provence cover an area of France's south-eastern coastline that measures roughly 200 kilometres from east to west. In this definitively Mediterranean climate – no Provencal vineyard is more than 55km (25 miles) from the Mediterranean – the vines enjoy around 3000 sunshine hours per year.
