Rose wine
Chateau l’Ermitage Auzan Rose
A GSM Rose – Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre. We demand a lot of Roses and this one delivers. It retains good acidity to balance out the sweet fruit aromas and flavours of strawberries and spice. 3 months lees aging adds an extra dimension. At night, the proximity to the sea helps cool the 25 year old vines allowing them to shake off the heat of the day. This is a Rose that you will revisit time and time again.

Chateau l'Ermitage
Located near the Roman cities of Nimes and Arles, winemaking at Chateau l’Ermitage goes back a very long way. Today, the not-so-old Michel and son Jerome Castillon, are the second and third generations to run this beautiful estate. With a base of deep sand, silt and pebbles, the vineyards are located on the old floodplains of the Rhone and Petit Rhone rivers. Facing south towards the Camargue and the Mediterranean, the property enjoys a marine micro-climate, cooled by the fresh sea-breezes and the edges of the Mistral wind. We have chosen Cuvee Auzan, a range of red, white and rose wines to demonstrate the quality and versatility of the wine from this unique wine-producing region, Costieres de Nimes.
