Roseblood d'Estoublon
1489 Roseblood Rosé 2024
The name 1489 marks the year Château d’Estoublon was founded. This cuvée takes inspiration from the estate’s rose garden, where delicate blooms meet the intense Provençal sun. Made entirely from estate vineyards in AOP Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, it comes from 50-year-old vines growing atop a volcanic crater, shaped by the cooling Mistral wind. A blend of Grenache and Syrah delivers roundness, power, and complexity. Presented in a custom bottle adorned with a rose, 1489 is a true haute-couture expression of Provence.
VINEYARD
The wine is sourced from a north-facing vineyard on the slopes of Provence’s only active volcano. The vines, over 50-years-old, grow in clay-limestone-marl soils with basalt fragments at 1,200 feet above sea level. The cool, deep soils, coupled with the Mistral wind, create optimal conditions for complex, mineral-driven wines.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted directly on the bunch, then sorted again upon arrival at the winery. The juice obtained from whole bunch pressing undergoes natural cold settling for 12 hours before the initial racking. Alcoholic fermentation employs both indigenous and selected yeast strains and takes place in stainless steel tanks, large-format vats, and 225L and 500L barrels, with 10% being new.
VINTAGE
The 2024 Provence vintage saw a cool, wet spring followed by a hot, dry summer, leading to lower yields and a late harvest. Despite challenges, including drought and potential disease, the vines thrived. Healthy grapes were harvested starting in late August, producing wines with remarkable aromatic potential. The rosés are aromatic and fruit-forward, while reds are supple with mellow tannins. Despite lower yields, the vintage promises wines with fresh, lively character, finesse, and excellent quality.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, pale eau-de-rose with hints of vine peach. The nose reveals wild berries, raspberry, and spring flowers, with touches of vanilla and toast. The palate is generous, airy, and finely balanced, blending freshness and generosity.

Reviews
Wine Spectator - August 11, 2025 "Shows impressive concentration and depth yet stays ethereal in form, with no heaviness to its notes of jasmine, white peach and crunchy orchard fruit. Details of blanched almond, chamomile and salted butter add complexity, with verbena-laced acidity keeping pace. Firm and focused on the elegant finish, which is marked by cooling minerality."
Wine Enthusiast - February 1, 2026 "Bright tart red fruit aromas—cherry and strawberry are given depth by stony minerality. The palate explodes with citrus flavors and hints of pear before the long white pepper finish."
