Description
Château de Roquefort is ideally situated in the Côtes de Provence appellation area, between the Sainte Baume massif, which rises to an altitude of 1042 metres, and the Calanques National Park. The relief is made up of high plateaus, where the vines are grown organically (certified in 2006) and biodynamically at an altitude of 390 metres in the hollow of an imposing rocky cirque on terraces with clay-limestone soils. A very pretty Provence wine with just the right amount of ripe and fresh fruit. The balance on the palate is impeccable. This is a wine that will be a delight with meat in sauce.

In autumn the grapes take on a dark colour which can even seem austere, but this 'noble rot' is a precursor of aromatic expression. Understanding this phenomenon is essential as only the grapes that have been perfectly concentrated by the Botrytis will be picked one by one.
Famille Vauthier, Château Moulin Saint-Georges, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2013
The terraces of Moulin Saint-Georges (7 ha) face those of Ausone (same owner).

As the Revue du Vin de France's 2024 guide points out, "quality has been impressively consistent for over two decades, and prices remain reasonable. The only regret is the quantities available...".
