## About this wine

Founded in 1610, Château Grand Boise is perched high above the Arc Valley in Trets, directly facing the iconic Mont Sainte-Victoire in Provence. Under owners Ana and Jean Simonet, the estate spans 500 hectares, with high-altitude vineyards dedicated to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The Cuvée Jadis Rosé, named after the French word for 'of old', is crafted as a gastronomic rosé from isolated plots planted on distinctive pink marble and clay-limestone soils.

## Interesting facts

- Vineyards are situated at altitudes up to 650 meters on rare pink marble soils.
- The estate was established in 1610 and operates under certified biodynamic practices.
- Jadis means 'of old', reflecting traditional aging in concrete and large oak casks.

## Food pairing

This medium-bodied, textured gastronomic rosé features crisp acidity and a saline mineral backbone that easily matches rich seafood, grilled poultry, and aromatic Mediterranean dishes without being overwhelmed.

## Wine making process

Grapes are hand-harvested at controlled low yields from specific high-altitude parcels. Whole bunches undergo direct pressing and gentle maceration. Spontaneous fermentation takes place using indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks and 500-liter oak demi-muids, including malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 6 months on its lees in concrete and oak to build a textured, structured palate while preserving aromatic purity.
