    Château Simone is an iconic Provençal estate , nestled just outside Aix-en-Provence in the heart of the tiny Palette appellation. Owned by the Rougier family for generations, the estate is distinguished by its unique terroir of limestone soils and natural grass cover, fostering meticulous viticulture. Château Simone wines are renowned for their depth, aromatic complexity, and exceptional aging potential, particularly the rosés, true gastronomic wines with remarkable structure. The 2024 vintage promises once again to combine freshness, elegance, and an inimitable style that only a select few rosés can offer.

    Producer

    The Château Simone vineyard covers approximately thirty hectares nestled on the limestone slopes of Palette, facing north/northwest, sheltered from excessive heat. The soil, rich in limestone and clay scree, imparts intense minerality and a singular freshness to the wines. The vines, many of which are over a century old and cultivated using sustainable farming practices, have deep roots, drawing on the full complexity of this rare and preserved terroir.

    Owner and history

    The Rougier family, guardians of Château Simone since the 19th century, embody the soul of the estate with passion and exacting standards. Their vision: to showcase the unique identity of Palette through authentic and uncompromising wines. Drawing on expertise passed down through generations, the Rougiers have preserved traditions while integrating environmentally responsible practices. Their unwavering commitment guarantees wines of remarkable quality, which have become icons of Provence winemaking.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Simone is characterized by a total respect for the fruit and traditional practices. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermentations take place slowly in vats, and then the wine is aged in oak casks.
    For the 2024 rosé, a gentle direct pressing extracts the very essence of the aromas. The wine is then aged on its fine lees, resulting in a smooth texture, remarkable complexity, and exceptional aging potential for a rosé.
