Maison Gassier’s oenologist, Léa Rouyet, is featured in an interview published by Forbes magazine.
In the latest episode of Forbes magazine’s “In The Vines With” series, presented by journalist Jenn Rice, Maison Gassier’s oenologist Léa Rouyet shares her vision of Provence rosé and, more specifically, the Sainte-Victoire terroir. Through her work on remarkable vintages, such as Le Pas du Moine – 350 and ELEVAE, a rosé with great aging potential, she is part of a generation of passionate winemakers committed to organic farming.
Located at the foot of Sainte-Victoire, Maison Gassier benefits from an exceptional terroir classified as the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation. What’s more, this spring, this terroir was officially recognized as the first Cru de Provence, the fruit and recognition of artisanal expertise. In her interview, Léa discusses what makes this terroir so unique : limestone soil, ideal for producing great rosés, a microclimate created by the surrounding mountains – Sainte-Victoire, Monts Auréliens, and Sainte-Baume – remarkable biodiversity and preserved ecosystems.
This interview in the vineyards illustrates Maison Gassier’s commitment to promoting the identity of Sainte-Victoire rosé through sustainable practices and expertise passed down through six generations.
