Clos des Roses, vineyard in Fréjus
Pink… as the name of the mother of the owner, as the superb rose garden of the domain and all these flowers which illuminate the vines as of the beautiful days. The Clos des Roses is all at once.
The Clos des Roses is a family wine domain, anchored in its soil. Proud of its roots and turned towards the future, it elaborates top-of-the-range wines produced in organic farming. A strong and engaging choice to write a new page of these vineyards to the foot of the Esterel. The wines of the Clos des Roses make rhyme terroir, naturality, know-how and quality.
A unique wine estate in the Var
Located in Fréjus, the wine estate Le Clos des Roses spreads over 10 hectares of vineyards where 9 grape varieties are cultivated: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle, Viognier, Carignan, Sauvignon blanc and Merlot. A singular volcanic terroir which, combined with the maritime influence and the know-how of the winemaker and the cellar master, offers a palette of fine and expressive wines.
When tradition meets modernity
The wine is aged in the cellar, under the attention of thewinemaker and technical manager of the domain.
Attached to the traditions and values of the region, the Clos des Roses harvest all the grapes by hand in 15kg boxes, to ensure a better quality of grapes. Once transported to the cellar, the magic of Provence wines can begin.
Different machines are used in the winemaking process, each with a clearly defined role: the crusher-destemmer, the exchanger or cooler of vintage, the pneumatic press and of course the stainless steel tanks. The whole process is carefully controlled by the winemaker, which ensures the smooth running of operations.
The cellar is equipped with the latest generation equipment, which precision and technology, connected with the expertise of our cellar master, contribute to a better respect of the product and a high quality winemaking.
The winery is also equipped with an underground barrel cellar, which we use for our aging red wines.
Our wines
The Clos des Roses offers two types of wine:
- The AOC (Appellation d'origine contrôlée) Côtes de Provence : With the Bouches-du-Rhône and an enclave in the Alpes Maritimes, the Var constitutes this AOC, rich in a varied wine-growing terroir. At the Clos des Roses estate, the soil is crystalline and volcanic - a singularity - and under maritime influence. From this alchemy between a terroir and our technical, traditional, and environmentally friendly know-how, comes a nice range of rosé and white wines with floral and fruit aromas, whose brightness and freshness are typical. The estate also produces quality red AOC wines, their silkiness and balance combined with a very interesting aromatic complexity.
- The IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) vins de Pays des Maures : Produced exclusively in the Var department, the Clos des Roses' IGP vin de pays des Maures vintages take the form of very aromatic, full-bodied and frank wines in the mouth. Rosé, red or white, these local wines are produced according to the principles of organic agriculture offering a quality tasting and respectful of the environment. The rosé and red wines are made with Merlot, the white with Sauvignon or Viognier.
