Tasting Notes
The nose is rich and very expressive, with notes of summer fruit, yellow peach and floral notes. Exotic notes are also present, such as mango and fresh pineapple. Lastly, we find citrus notes such as pomelo.
On the palate, the expression of fruit deepens, with a fine balance between the exotic and the Mediterranean aromas. The aromatic harmony is supported by a silky structure, with a complex, saline finish.

Château Galoupet Cru Classé 2023
How was 2023?
The year 2023 was marked by a drastic drought on the coast right up to the harvest. This was the least rainy year recorded at Château Galoupet since the installation of a weather station on the estate (-31% compared with the 2020-2022 average). Yields were low, with an average of 28hL per hectares on our plots, enabling us to concentrate the berries' aromas and harvest high-quality grapes. Meticulous plot management enabled us to express the full potential and personality of each individual parcel. Grass coverage between the rows and cover crops have been extended to the entire vineyard, enriching the soil naturally and creating a sanctuary for biodiversity. Château Galoupet Cru Classé 2023 is a certified organic wine of great complexity crafted with care from ground to glass.
Winemaking
The very fine varietal expression of Tibouren this year during the ripening and vinification period has enabled us to develop its presence in the Cru Classé 2023 blend. This is a rare and delicate grape variety, favored at Château Galoupet and characterized by its yellow fruit notes and salinity. The new, smaller vats have made it possible to vinify the grapes on a plot-by-plot basis, so as to best adapt to each terroir and sublimate all its particularities. In the same spirit, the team developped masterful accuracy regarding the impact of the barrels on the wine. 40% of the wines were selected for vinification in 600L French oak demi-muids (60% new and 40% one-year-old) and left to age on fine lees for 4 to 5 months before final blending mid-January.
Sustainable packaging
Château Galoupet Cru Classé Côtes de Provence 2023 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.
