Tasting Notes
The nose is highly expressive and elegant, revealing a succession of fruity notes: yellow fruits, kumquat, and a hint of passion fruit. Aromas of sweet spices and wild herbs add complexity and refinement. The palate is rich, reminiscent of summer fruits, fleshy and juicy. The harmony on the palate rests on a freshness carried by a silky structure with notes of pomegranate, grapefruit, and anise. The finish is full of character, persistent, and marked by its saline notes.

How was 2024?
After two particularly dry years in 2022 and 2023, our estate really needed water, and the teams were scanning the sky in hopes of rain. Our wishes were granted with the 2024 vintage, marked by very nice autumn and spring rainfalls, which replenished the soils well. Some of us even harvested wonderful mushrooms in the wooded areas of the estate, but they are keeping the locations of their discoveries a secret... The summer then stayed true to Provence, warm and sunny, allowing for optimal ripeness of the berries. Our wines capture all the generosity of the vintage, with a beautiful intensity, a silky structure, and a lovely length on the finish.
Winemaking
This year, the team dedicated considerable effort to controlling the maturity of the grapes, with the goal of achieving a more dynamic attack on the palate. With this in mind, the harvest was slightly advanced in order to reduce sugar concentration at the time of picking and increase acidity. Subsequently, the art of blending was at the centre of the creation of this new vintage. Each plot is vinified separately, allowing the winemakers to capture the best expression of the year. This also provides the flexibility needed to adjust the proportion of each grape variety in the wine. As in previous years, we harvested our grapes at night to achieve optimal aromatic maturity.
Sustainable packaging
Château Galoupet Cru Classé Côtes de Provence 2024 is presented in a distinctive and lightweight (499g) amber bottle made from 85% recycled glass. Not only does doing so prevent waste, but it also saves energy during the production process and transportation. This would not have been possible without our partners who supported us in the development and creation of this lightweight bottle, with full traceability and transparency.
