Château Peyrassol - A Provençal wine with a medieval history

The Commanderie de Peyrassol is an estate founded in the thirteenth century by the Order of the Templars. Located at the foot of the Provencal Massif des Maures, it includes almost 850 hectares of oaks, olive trees and garrigue that protect a centuries-old vineyard of great fame: Château Peyrassol. Owned by Philippe Austruy since 2001, the vineyard produces sublime AOP Côtes de Provence wines.

Côtes de Provence AOC Réserve des Templiers is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Vermentino that appears in the glass with the characteristic pale pink color of Provence rosés. With a fresh and round sip, it releases delicate citrus scents, in particular of ripe lemon peel. The Côtes de Provence AOC Rosé (92 pt Parker) releases hints of white flowers and citrus fruits, while the Côtes de Provence AOC Les Commandeurs (91 pt Wine Enthusiast) offers sweet hints of raspberry and strawberry reminiscent of Italian rosé wines. The winery also offers a red wine with an elegant finish based on Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Côtes de Provence AOC Rouge, which reveals small red and black fruits and will be perfect with a beef carpaccio.
