TASTING NOTES
The Ultimate Provence - UP Rosé 2024, a Côte de Provence AOP rosé, is a high-end wine produced in the renowned Côtes de Provence region, famous for its fresh and aromatic rosés. This wine perfectly embodies the Provençal style, with an elegant and modern design reflected in its transparent bottles and label-free presentation, adorned with striped reliefs that reveal the structure's logo. The 2024 vintage of Ultimate Provence features a delicate pink colour with copper reflections. On the nose, it presents an intense array of aromas, including fresh lemon, raspberry, strawberry, and exotic floral notes. In the mouth, it is lightly spicy, floral, and fruity, with good acidity thanks to the Syrah, offering a perfect balance between fruit and freshness. The wine has a medium body and a round, harmonious finish. Located between Nice and Marseille, the Côtes de Provence region is known for its Mediterranean climate, ideal for rosé production. Ultimate Provence is situated about 40 minutes inland from Saint-Tropez, in an area offering a unique terroir due to the combination of hills and plains. The UP Rosé 2024 is crafted from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle, and Syrah grapes, contributing to a fresh and aromatic rosé typical of Provence. The presence of Syrah adds good structure and acidity to the wine. Ultimate Provence has garnered significant interest in the world of rosés due to its innovative design and wine quality. The Ultimate Provence estate also offers high-end wine tourism experiences, including the opportunity to stay in elegant rooms and participate in exclusive events. This rosé is ideal for serving at a temperature of 8-10°C and pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, such as salmon or prawns. It is also excellent to enjoy on its own to appreciate its freshness and elegance. While UP Rosé 2024 can be paired with desserts, it is more commonly associated with salty and fresh dishes. However, some desserts can be a good match if you seek to balance sweetness with the rosé's freshness. For optimal pairing, it is important to choose a dessert that is not too sweet, so as not to overpower the wine. Generally, Provençal rosés like UP Rosé are better suited to light and fresh dishes but can be an excellent choice for those seeking elegance in a summer dessert.

Just 30 minutes from Saint-Tropez, the estate is located in a wild, natural setting on the edge of the Maures Nature Reserve and Natura 2000 area. Ultimate Provence covers 115 acres (46 ha) of vineyards, entirely under the AOP Côtes-de-Provence appellation. At the edge of a large oak forest in the heart of the nature reserve, we find the vineyard, which is characterized by shallow soil layered on an impermeable shale slab. This terroir is nourished by a rich humus of oak leaves and vine shoots. The finest Cinsaults are grown on hillsides, thus providing exceptional exposure. Nearby and slightly lower down is a large plot of Rolle (Vermentino), a grape known for its fruity notes of citrus and pears. La Grande Pièce is a magnificent parcel on a plateau devoted entirely to Syrah, which give the wines definite aromas of violets, red and black fruits. Finally, in the Perrono plot, named after the family that planted the first vines in the mid-20th century, young white and black Grenaches have joined the magnificent Syrahs already established. All this contributes to Ultimate Provence's unique viticultural terroir. Certified organic since 2021, these vineyards have also been rated at the highest level of High Environmental Value (HVE), which is an official recognition of winemakers' environmental performance. HVE certification is based on indicators found throughout a farm, and ensures that elements of biodiversity are widely present and that the impact of farming practices on the environment is minimized. Ultimate Provence offers a unique experience: the winery's state-of-the-art structure is combined with the charm of a traditional vineyard and the chic contemporary urban design of Monegasque designers Humbert & Poyet, who have curated the entire receptive area. Deeply immersed in the wine tourism of which the MDCV Group is proud, the UP / Ultimate Provence estate produces vintages of Côtes-de-Provence AOP, which are served alongside the gastronomic creations of chef Romain Franceschi, in harmony with the vision of winemaker Alexis Cornu. A truly exceptional place for a chic and relaxed lifestyle.
