Located in Provence in the plains of the Sainte Victoire between Brignoles and Aix-en-Provence, the Chateau des Ferrages estate is well known for it's rosé wine, which is sold across the world.
Maison Chapoutier, have pioneered biodynamic farming in the Rhône valley and believe that the purchase of Chateau des Ferrages and this move into the Provence region is a positive one. The fast growing rosé wine sector is an obvious draw but Michel Chapoutier also plans to convert the vineyard to biodynamic farming, in line with his viticultural practices at his Rhône estate.
"It is the limestone of Mont Aurélien that has convinced us the location is exceptional," Michel Chapoutier said. "After the granite and schist, we want to discover and learn this new terroir through our wines."
Global rosé wine sales are around 2.6 billion bottles annually, according to the most recently released figures from research group The IWSR and trade show Vinexpo.
