Under the expert stewardship of Louis Barruol, renowned for his work at Chateau de Saint Cosme, Rouanne has become a beacon for artisanal winemaking, focusing on organic viticulture and natural ferments. This estate is uniquely positioned where the cool air from the nearby Alps meets the warmth of the Mediterranean, creating a remarkable micro-climate that gives the wines their distinctive freshness and complexity. The ancient vines-Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Marselan-rooted in limestone and sandy marl soils, provide unparalleled depth and character, resulting in a sparkling rose that celebrates terroir and tradition.
