Campuget Tradition Rose 2024
(Rhone Valley, France)

About the Winery:
Château de Campuget in Costieres de Nimes is a beautiful wine property dating back to 1640. The soil is typical for the region, with many stones that force roots to find water deep in the lower layers of clay, contributing additional character to the wine. The property is managed by Franck-Lin Dalle, named after one of his dad’s heroes, Benjamin Franklin.

Since 1942, Campuget’s sole aim has been to produce Rhône Valley Grands Vins, respecting the heritage of the soil. The round Rhône stones, the Southern sun, the Mistral winds and the Syrah and Grenache grapes are the basic elements which form the identity of Campuget. Their professional ethic is simple: they pursue a ceaseless quest to improve the quality of their wines by a better knowledge of their soil and their vines… yes, it’s all in the vines …

As they prepare the assemblages, the vintages and the wines, their passion for quality is guided by the thoughts of the pleasure that they will bring and the emotions they will stir.
