History
This iconic rosé is an invitation to discover an alchemy: that of an exceptional terroir, unequalled know-how, a bottle with symbolic curves. A rosé wine unique in the world, which will sublimate exceptional dinners and moments of celebration.
To magnify this rosé, a unique bottle was needed. The bottle Clos du Temple is an exclusive creation by Gérard Bertrand's teams. A geometrical representation of the temple, whose elegant proportions are inspired by the golden section, the Phi : The square base, symbol of the earth, takes up the cubic foundations, the cylinder elevation is intended as an evocation of the connection between earthly and celestial forces. The dome, a perfect circle on the shoulders of the bottle, is adorned with a fine gold decoration to underline the gentle curves of the hills surrounding the Clos du Temple. The Bleu Royal is a tribute to King Louis XIV, a great lover of Cabrières wines.
Character & Nature
Clos du Temple is an exceptional place magnified by the know-how of its people.
The vineyard of the Clos du Templeis composed of 12 hectares, made up of 11 small plots clinging to the hillside, naturally enclosed by the relief and vegetation.
In Au Clos du Temple, the vine is cultivated in Biodynamics. The work of the horse and the mule promote the connection between the mineral, the plant, the animal and the human. The manual harvesting in boxes is done at daybreak in order to benefit from the night-time thermal lowering and thus preserve the freshness of the berries. Each plot is harvested at the optimum date and vinified separately.
