Its unusual north-facing vineyards and diverse range of grape varieties set it apart, but it’s the unwavering commitment of the Rougier family that gives “La Simone,” as Jean-François Rougier fondly calls it, its unmistakable character. Exceptional across all three colors, these wines are defined by elegance, precision, and depth. The 2022 White is a standout, led by beautifully expressive Clairette grapes that lend both aromatic lift and structure. The 2022 Red strikes a perfect balance between Atlantic and Mediterranean varietals, delivering layered complexity and finesse. And the 2022 Rosé—remarkable for its grace and charisma—is nothing short of captivating. Château Simone is, without a doubt, the most iconic and sought-after estate in Provence. Eschewing technical trends, it continues to craft wines that are deeply rooted in their terroir and effortlessly elevate any gastronomic pairing. With its pale ruby color and copper highlights, the 2023 Rosé Palette stands in a class of its own. This is a rosé with real structure—tense, vibrant, and intense, delivering a lively burst of delicate fruit flavor. From old, north-facing vines rooted in limestone scree, it offers unexpected depth and even a touch of tannin. Aged in oak as always, it’s a true food rosé—serious, distinctive, and utterly unique. Hand-picked harvest. Vines over 50 years old. Light crushing, partial destemming. Blending with a proportion of saignée juice. Matured in small oak barrels on fine lees.
