The Guillaume & Virginie Philip wine estate is run by Guillaume and his
wife Virginie Philip. In 2007, they produced their first wine, the now
coveted MIP rosé. The vineyards are located at the foot of Mount Sainte Victoire in the Provençal commune of Puyloubier. The soil surrounding the
estate consists of clay, loam, sand, and stones, an ideal composition for the
production of flavorful and aromatic rosé wines. The vineyards primarily plant Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Rolle (Vermentino). Each plot
is vinified separately to allow for the perfect vinification method for each soil type. Due to the warm and dry climate, diseases are rare in the
vineyards, and the use of pesticides is therefore minimal. This environmentally friendly approach naturally has a positive effect
on the wines, which are fruit-rich, elegantly spicy, floral, and above all
deliciously pure.
CLIMATE & TERROIR: A Mediterranean climate with warm summers
and relatively mild winters. The soil is calcareous, sandy, and red
clay, stony.
WINIFICATION: After four days of skin-soaking, the grapes from old
vines are pressed and macerated for three weeks at a low
temperature. The fermented juice then matures with the yeast sediment
(lees) in stainless steel tanks.
GRAPES: Vermentino
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE: 12.50%
ARBON & TASTE: The aroma and flavor reveal grapefruit, lemon, pear, and
green apple. It also has a touch of fine herbs, a beautiful full
structure, and a seductive finish.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve as an aperitif, with light dishes,
salads, grilled light meats, and Provençal cuisine in
general.
TIP: The Vermentino grape is also locally called rolle. This wine is made from old vines in Provence.
