Chateau La Sable Rosé L’Incarnat, Luberon

Chateau La Sable

APPELLATION: A.O.P. Luberon

GRAPE VARIETIES: Syrah (50%), Grenache (50%)

TERROIR:  Sandy terroir, at an altitude of 250m, facing south and protected on the mountain-side by a forest, which promotes biodiversity. In this sandy soil, the vines can go very deep, which amplifies the original expression of this terroir.

WINE MAKING: light pressing of whole bunches, with a pneumatic press to limit the colour extraction. Alcoholic fermentation for about 2 weeks at low temperature to protect aromas. Aging 5 months in oak barrels.

TASTING NOTES:  Intense nose of strawberry and raspberry and a light touch of brioche. On the palate, it is ample and round with cherry and strawberry flavours and subtle vanilla notes, and a long finish.

The producer
Chateau La Sable

Chateau La Sable

The estate was owned for several generations by a family from Forcalquier, near Manosque.

During the 19th century, the owner, Victor-Etienne Pascal, added the two towers that give the bastide its majestic look today.

His great-grand children sold the estate in 1964 to the Lembo family, who planted the first vines then. Their son in law, Bernard Delarozière, developed the vineyard until the acquisition by Virginie and Jean-Marc in 2017

The first vines were planted in 1967, with grape varieties typical for the region: Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and Cinsault.

In 1986, a winemaking facility was built, and it became one of the first independent wineries in the Luberon appellation!

We started a full restructuring of the vineyard when we arrived. We are replanting new vines to introduce new grape varieties such as the local white ‘’Rolle’’ (also called ‘’Vermentino’’) and the aromatic ‘’Clairette’’, and the Syrah and Grenache.

And we started our journey to organic viticulture and winemaking on the whole estate since 2018.
