Château Galoupet 2022

LVMH releases a mineral Côtes de Provence rosé wine with a fine aromatic structure

The property

Promoted to Cru Classé de Provence in 1955, Château Galoupet was acquired in 2019 by Moët Hennessy, the Wine & Spirits division of the LVMH group, with the ambition of restoring the prestige of these unique terroirs.

The vineyard

Château Galoupet looks after 77 hectares of classified woodland and 69 hectares of vines, organic since August 2020. The estate's terroir is made up of 41 individually vinified plots. Following the acquisition of the estate, Moët Hennessy instigated a complete soil study (which took 3 years), the application of rigorous care to the entire vineyard as well as the modernisation of the wine-making tools, in order to produce a great Côtes de Provence wine.

The wine
