Where is Ultimate Provence?

It's located between Nice and Marseille, only 40 minutes inland from Saint Tropez. Here, there are in-house vineyards and a wine cellar, as well as a paradise for guests. Stay in elegant rooms, enjoy modern cuisine and drink one of the best rosés in the world, practically fresh from the barrel, by the pool with a view of the vineyards. What could be better? In addition, the property also offers space for seminars and private events such as weddings. If you prefer something more active, go on hikes or mountain bike tours through the Maures Massive, in the foothills of which the Ultimate Provence property is located.

The hype about UP

Where does all the excitement about the Ultimate Provence brand come from? As part of the Provence Rosé Group, the brand is a new-ish project by winegrowers from the Côtes de Provence wine-growing region and has been bringing a breath of fresh air to the rosé world for a few years now. UP, as the brand abbreviates itself, grows its grapes on around 46 hectares of vineyards, especially for the production of rosé, and presses them directly. This means that you get really high-quality wine and no juice extraction from red wines.

Ultimate Provence combines the best of many areas: Design, cuisine and of course wine. Those who spend their holidays in the UP Boutique Hotel experience wine tourism at the highest level. A timeless property was built near the village of La Garde-Freinet, designed by the two Monegasque designers - Humbert & Poyet. Coupled with the gourmet kitchen, which is led by Romain Franceschi, and the delicate wines from experienced winemaker Alexis Cornu, you get a unique experience in the French Côtes de Provence!

What does Côtes de Provence rosé taste like?

Ultimate Provence makes delicious red and white wine, but let's be honest - if you have the chance to drink such a high-quality rosé from the heart of Provence, then grab it! First of all, the rosé is a blend of Grenache Noir, Cinsault and Syrah, as well as a smaller proportion of Rolle and Vermentino. A colourful bouquet of ripe lemons, raspberries and strawberries spreads across the nose. Slightly floral and spicy notes present themselves on the palate, which harmoniously integrate the fruity scent. Overall, the rosé is very finely balanced. Fruit and freshness go hand in hand here. With its round and medium-bodied finish, you'll want a second sip right away!

What's the best way to drink rosé?

At the dining table, rosé with its varied portfolio of flavours is ideal with salmon or seafood. However, if you're sitting on a terrace on a hot summer's day, put it in a bottle cooler filled with ice cubes to create a pure summer feeling that takes you and your friends straight to French Provence.

Don't forget what it looks like!

Wine isn't just something for the palate, it's also a treat for the eye. This glass bottle is extremely elegant and, with its vintage touch, a masterpiece in itself. Use it as a vase or water carafe and enjoy it for longer. If you've planning large bouquets of flowers, grab the Magnum bottle! ;)
