Roque Pertusa President, Provence Wine Council If you have questions about the Côtes de Provence region, rosé, or any of our participating domaines, please use the contact information on the back cover to follow up with us. About Côtes de Provence Provence is the world’s only region specializing in dry rosé. The vast majority of its rosés come from the Côtes de Provence AOC, the largest and best-known François Millo Director, Provence Wine Council winemaking appellation in Provence. Côtes de Provence stretches from the alpine hills of the north to Saint-Tropez on the southern coast, and extends west to Aix-en -Provence. It encompasses several winegrowing areas, each with geographical features that give the wines distinct personalities. Côtes de Provence vineyards also yield full-bodied reds and delicate whites. 3 About Rosé Wine Rosé is a category of wine that stands alongside red and white. Like red wines, rosés are made from red grapes. But whereas red wines are made by allowing the juice and skins to commingle during fermentation, rosé producers allow only a limited period of skin contact before separating the pink-tinted juice from the grape skins and then beginning fermentation. The pigment and tannins in the skins give the dry rosé its color, aroma, and character. Provençal winemakers make rosé by producing single-variety rosés in individual vats. The final cuvée is assembled from these batches. The most common grapes used are Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvedre, Tibouren, Carignan, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Quick facts: » Approximately 10% of the world’s wine production is rosé. » France produces 28% of the world’s rosé wine by volume, making it the global leader. » Provence produces 40% of French AOC rosés. The AOC designation is a guarantee of authenticity and production quality. » In France, vin rosé outsells white wine. In the United States, rosé is one of the fastest-growing wine categories in retail. Market Information Rosé is experiencing a global rebirth. In the United States, retail sales of imported rosé increased by 28% in the year ending Sept. 19, 2009. By comparison, total table wine sales grew by less than 4% (The Nielsen Co.). Projections show this trend continuing. According to a Vinexpo study, U.S. consumption of rosé wine is forecast to rise by nearly 10%, from 565 million bottles in 2008 to 620 million bottles in 2012. American wine drinkers are discarding the misperception that rosé wines are the same as sweet blush wines, which contain much higher levels of residual sugar. Overall, the U.S. is now the world’s second largest importer of wine. From 1999 to 2007, the volume of wine imported into the U.S. doubled, and the U.S. wine market grew to more than $30 billion in sales. 4 Château Coussin L A C RO I X D U P RI EU R R O SÉ LABEL: La Croix du Prieur APPELLATION: Côtes de Provence VINTAGE: 2009 TYPE: Rosé GRAPE VARIETIES: 43% Grenache, 33% Cinsault, 20% Carignan, 4% Syrah SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE: $19.99 TECHNICAL NOTES: This wine is a pale, luminous pink.

Fine and delicate, this rosé is perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to Mediterranean and grilled foods. The name Pink Floyd has a direct connection with the domaine, as the rock band used the recording studio on the property to record “The Wall” 30 years ago. We thought it a fitting name for a pink rosé. Vinification includes a long cold fermentation. DO M AIN E C O NT AC T U .S .

A period of cold stabilization follows, prior to fermentation at a low temperature (with no malolactic fermentation). After fermentation, the wines are left on their lees with regular batonnage, to improve the aromas. The wines are filtered prior to bottling. DO M AIN E C O NT AC T U .S .
