About Château Sainte Marguerite Fantastique Rosé
Nestled in the heart of Provence, Château Sainte Marguerite crafts the Fantastique Rosé from carefully selected Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre grapes. The estate’s rolling vineyards benefit from Mediterranean sun, cool Mistral winds, and well-drained limestone soils, resulting in grapes with ideal ripeness and aromatic complexity.
Vineyard & Terroir
The 135-hectare estate combines clay-limestone and sandy soils, ensuring optimal drainage and mineral expression. The maritime influence moderates temperatures, preserving the wine’s vibrant acidity and delicate fruit character.
Winemaking Process
Harvested at dawn to retain freshness, the grapes undergo gentle direct pressing and a controlled low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This technique preserves the wine’s purity, fruity aromas, and crisp finish.
