How to serve
a rosé wine ?

Côtes de Provence rosé wines are renowned for their freshness and are best enjoyed at a temperature between 8 and 12°C. For the Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé cuvée, we recommend serving it at around 10°C. To achieve this, place the bottle in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

Alternatively, you can chill it quickly by submerging it in a bucket filled with ice and water for 15 to 20 minutes. During warmer seasons, when rosé warms up quickly, maintain the ideal temperature by placing the bottle in an ice bucket without fully submerging it throughout the meal.

Like many fine wines, rosé gradually reveals its full aromatic complexity after a few minutes in the glass, allowing its bouquet to blossom completely.

Several factors influence the aging potential of rosé, such as the appellation, vintage, production methods, storage conditions, and the quality of the wine. Although most rosés are enjoyed young, within a few months of production, and are seen as fresh summer wines, some high quality rosés, such as our Château Galoupet Grand Cru Classé, can be kept for up to 4 to 5 years under the right conditions.

A fine Provence rosé can age well in a cellar at a temperature between 10 and 14°C. Ideally, store the bottle in a dark, slightly humid, vibration free, and well ventilated room. Lay it on its side to keep the cork in contact with the wine, preventing it from drying out and avoiding oxidation.

Once opened, enjoy the rosé within 4 to 5 days to preserve its delicate fruit notes. To extend its preservation even further, the Coravin system allows for longer keeping by extracting the wine with a needle and replacing the air with inert gas, thereby reducing oxidation.
