The Story Behind the Wine: Château de Rouanne, a historic estate dating back to the 12th century, was purchased in 2019 by renowned winemaker Louis Barruol, owner of Château de Saint Cosme. The estate spans 177 acres, with 153 acres dedicated to vineyards. Barruol saw immense potential in this "sleeping beauty" of a vineyard, comparing it to his early days at Saint Cosme. Situated in the cool-climate Vinsobres appellation, the château benefits from the "Pontias" wind, which helps produce wines with great finesse and balance​.
