Château Gassier is located a few kilometres from the city of a thousand fountains, Aix-en-Provence, and bears the values of the French Riviera and the Provencal Art de Vivre.
The vines flourish on an exceptional terroir, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain.
A mountain, a terroir, an estate, a history... It is from this subtle blend that ELEVAE rosé was born. It is thanks to its delicate passage in demi-muid that its ageing is measured in years. ELEVAE, a confidential cuvée made from the best plots and only for the best vintages.
