Château Beauferan Rosé

Learn more

Recently purchased by the Cheylan family, Château Beauferan is located on the nearby hills of Velaux. Abandoned for years, the Beauferan estate, its winery, its cellar, and its vineyard were ready to be recalled to life. Realizing the estate’s fabulous potential, Robert, Noële, Christine, and Pascal Cheylan purchased the abandoned estate in 2014 and began restoration of the vineyard immediately. After several years of work without a sufficient harvest, the estate now produces high quality grapes each year. 

Until the renovation of the Château Beauferan cellar is complete, the grapes will continue to be vinified in the cellars of the Château Virant. 

The objective of the Cheylan family is to restore this estate and return nobility to the name Château Beauferan.

Château Beauferan Rosé, PDO Coteaux d'Aix en Provence, is created by direct pressing and cold stalling. The Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet varieties that comprise this vintage wine give it a fruity nose with notes of cherry and strawberry. Fans will recognize a refreshing taste with notes of citrus and exotic fruits. It is this unique taste that makes this rosé particularly enjoyable on summer evenings.

Pairings

Enjoy the Château Beauferan Rosé wine as an aperitif or with grilled meats and fish, Provencal dishes, or spicy dishes. You can also discover newly created flavors by pairing it with goat cheese.

Tasting advice

Rosé wines are generally consumed chilled. Try cooling your glass before serving by quickly swirling an ice cube inside. To preserve the aromas of the wine, remember to remove the ice cube before serving.

Environmental distinction

Château Virant has an HVE 3 certification issued by the French government. This distinguished label is only obtained after having reached the highest level of environmental certification for farms. This label signifies sustainable production and practices with careful management of natural resources.
