The Vic family has been at the helm of Preignes le Vieux since 1905, with the estate now
standing as a testament to the enduring connection between humankind and the earth.
Here's a brief history: Robert Vic, the great-grandfather, acquired the estate in the early
20th century. Today, the fifth generation is diligently cultivating vines across 250
hectares encircling the château. In the early 1990s, Jérôme took the reins of the family
business, soon joined by his wife Aurélie.

Here, fermentation commences, meticulously regulated to maintain temperatures between 16 and 18°C.

The final result is a wine that exudes brilliance and freshness, with a vibrant and digestible profile.

Tasting
This rosé sparkles with a luminous charm, swirling with notes of zesty citrus and playful red
berries – a sip is like a burst of "Oh la la, that's delightful!" It's the life of the party in a glass. Pair it with the elegance of grilled red mullet dancing with herbs, a zucchini flan doing the basil boogie, or a strawberry charlotte that's just too pretty to eat. It's not just wine; it's a gourmet's wingman!
