Product Description
Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé 2022 is an exceptional wine that captures the very essence of Provence’s celebrated terroir. Crafted from a careful blend of Grenache, Syrah, Tibouren, Rolle, Cinsault, and Sémillon, this rosé expresses the natural elegance of the region’s unique landscape. The 2022 vintage stands out for its vibrant aromatics, which evoke yellow peach, mango, and pineapple, while hints of pomelo add a zesty citrus freshness. On the palate, the wine is both rich and balanced, with an elegant structure that’s framed by vibrant acidity and a mineral edge that lingers throughout. The wine’s finish is long and saline, giving it a complexity that’s characteristic of the Cru Classé classification.
With its bright fruit flavours and a distinct Mediterranean profile, Château Galoupet 2022 is a versatile wine that pairs well with everything from light appetisers to rich seafood dishes. This rosé can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years to allow its complex layers to evolve further.

Maker
Château Galoupet is a Cru Classé Côtes de Provence estate with a legacy dating back to the 18th century. It achieved Cru Classé status in 1955, a title held by only 18 estates in the entire region, representing the pinnacle of Provençal winemaking. The estate was revitalised in 2019 by a team of passionate owners with a vision to return the vineyards to their former glory. Today, under the leadership of Mathieu Meyer, the winery combines cutting-edge organic viticulture with time-honoured traditions to produce wines of exceptional quality. The estate is committed to both sustainability and biodiversity, using organic farming practices to cultivate a healthy ecosystem and produce wines that truly express the unique characteristics of the land.
Château Galoupet is not just a winery—it’s a sanctuary for both nature and art. The vineyards are situated in the heart of Provence, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate, which offers perfect growing conditions for their diverse grape varieties. Every bottle produced at Château Galoupet is a tribute to the estate's rich heritage, the surrounding landscape, and the passion of the team dedicated to creating exceptional wine.
