Meet the Producer

On the outskirts of the village of Cuers, Chteau Gairoird is a 45-hectare certified organic estate rooted in the traditions of Provence. Owned by the Duffort family, the domaine cultivates Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle, Syrah, Mourvdre and the rare Tibouren. Its reputation is built on respecting the land, crafting wines that embody the purity and elegance of the Ctes de Provence.

Production

The estates limestone-clay soils, known locally as gravoches, provide the perfect terroir for classic Provence ros. Grapes are harvested at night to preserve freshness, then gently pressed to create a delicate ros de presse. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures for 23 weeks, before resting on fine lees until bottling in January. The blend includes Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and small proportions of other Provenal varieties to enhance complexity.

Food Match

A versatile food companion, perfect with crab fritters, tuna tartare, grilled salmon, or linguine with tomato and olives. Also pairs beautifully with vegetarian dishes such as aubergine tian or chilled summer ratatouille.
