“We do not stop the cuv\u00e9e, but we put it on pause to focus our efforts on the Chateau reference,<\/em>” says Mathieu Meyer, technical director of the domain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This thoughtful decision on the part of the estate to put aside the production of Nomade<\/em> ros\u00e9<\/strong>, is partly related to the originality of the bottle, made of recycled plastic and made from waste collected on beaches. An innovative and responsible initiative, but which obviously has a hard time operating in a French market that remains traditional in terms of wines. And where even screw plugs have trouble being accepted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This plastic bottled wine could have found its public in the south of France, as on the beaches of Tropezia or on a boat in the Mediterranean, but Matthieu Meyer admits that the packaging “is very clivant<\/em>“<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the contrary, that of the Ch\u00e2teau<\/em> cuv\u00e9e, made of glass and topped with pink wax<\/strong>, conquers hearts and lovers of oenology. Even if his bottle is made of glass, his responsible approach remains always present: “Packaging representing 40% of the carbon emissions of wine production, we opted for a dark and light bottle (less than 500 g) made of 80% recycled glass to save as much as possible silica, the non-renewable raw material which is the basis of glass manufacturing<\/em>“.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ch\u00e2teau Galoupet<\/strong> is located on 69 hectares of vineyards and 77 hectares of woods, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the bucolic islands of Porquerolles, Port-Cros and the Levant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the website, it is indicated that after 4 years spent regenerating the soil, feeding the vines and restoring the natural biodiversity of the estate, the first Ros\u00e9s de Provence in organic conversion are ready to be tasted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 2022 vintage is a blend of grenache, tibouren, cinsault, rolle, with a touch of semillon. It was vinified in vats and raised to 30% in half-muids (Editor\u2019s note: wine aging in a wooden container). It is more mineral than 2021,on citrus zest and yellow fruit aromas, with a slight hint of honey. Its price is very reasonable and amounts to 55 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It will be certified organic for the 2023 vintage<\/strong>, “but we want to go beyond with three plots in biodynamic testing. We remain in a pragmatic experimental approach<\/em>“, adds the technical director of the field.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The priority of the team of the domain, in addition to refocusing on the cuv\u00e9e Ch\u00e2teau, is also to preserve the 77 hectares of wood, classified Natura 2000<\/strong> ( editor\u2019s note: natural site of the European Union having a great heritage value, by the fauna and flora it contains). Their goal? Renaturer the maquis, while working on biodiversity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The latest news is the appointment of a new Managing Director, Nadine Fau, who was responsible for the international sales of Veuve Clicquot ( another LVMH brand) and has recently replaced Jessica Julmy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read also ><\/span>Ch\u00e2teau Galoupet presents \u201cNomade 2021\u201d, the first ros\u00e9 to be marketed in a recycled plastic bottle<\/a><\/p>\nOn the way to organic farming<\/h2>\n
