Berne Inspiration Rosé

$785.00

The Berne Inspiration cuvée is based on a beautiful combination of grape varieties, of which Grenache Noir remains the favourite, and Provençal terroirs, with limestone as a link. The MDCV's control over this vintage is unrivalled, from the choice of plots and dates of night-time harvesting, to the blending of grape varieties and careful bottling in a protective atmosphere. The preservation of colour and delicate fruity aromas is made possible by the use of neutral gases, such as nitrogen, by keeping the musts and wines at controlled and cool temperatures, and above all by the daily stirring of the wines on the lees. A delight to be appreciated on the palate.
Beautiful length, good retention and a unique vein in the mouth, a sweet finish with aromas of white-fleshed fruits and small red fruits (currants, strawberries).

The specific characteristics of its terroir give its wines an aromatic complexity recognised by the greatest. Thanks to the estate's cool nights and its limestone soils, its vines produce wines of great aromatic freshness and remarkable finesse.

The estate is protected by 360 hectares of forest. The cool nights of the Haut-Var ensure slow and optimal ripening of the grapes. Although the rosés ripen later, they are well-structured and full-bodied wines that are particularly well suited to contemporary food and wine pairing.

Known for its rosé wines, Provence is much less known for the diversity of its terroirs. In the Côtes de Provence appellation alone, there are no less than six main zones that stand out from east to west.

The terroir of Château de Berne is located in the Haut-Pays region, made up of limestone hills and valleys. This is the inland Provence, unknown and secret, offering structured red wines and delicate white and rosé wines.

Since February 2021, the estate's 150 hectares of vineyards have been certified organically grown. This is part of Château de Berne's commitment to protecting a particularly generous natural environment, as well as the people who work there.

Château de Berne has also held the High Environmental Value (HVE) Level 3 certification for several years, in response to the needs expressed during the Grenelle de l'Environnement summit on the economic, environmental and social aspects of a farm.

The wines are also made with respect for nature and man, to give full expression to this very specific terroir.

Two distinct entities in terms of geology and altitude characterise this terroir. The heart of its Provençal vineyard (80% of the vines) is situated on a limestone plateau at an altitude of 300 metres. This elevation brings with it cooler nights: the thermal amplitude allows the grapes to ripen more slowly, giving the wines greater freshness and aromatic finesse.

On this plateau, limestone dominates, ensuring good drainage of rainfall, allowing the vines to draw water from deep underground and giving the grapes their famous "minerality". On the palate, this translates into great subtlety, salinity and tension.

The remaining 20% ​​of the vineyards are located around the castle, on light, sandy soils, which give richness to the wines.

This geological diversity, combined with the diversity of grape varieties planted, provides the essential variety of choice for blending the estate's different cuvées.
