Selladore En Provence Rosé is a beautiful pale and elegant dry Provence rosé, bottled under the Coteaux Varois en Provence AOP and produced at Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze. A classic Grenache-led blend with silky texture and flavours of peach and grapefruit, it is the kind of Provence rosé you will return to again and again – restrained, food-friendly and excellent value.
Previously known as Williams Chase Rosé, this is the same wine from the same estate and the same winemaking team. Only the name has changed.
The estate was acquired by William Chase in 2015 and now covers more than 27 hectares across the Côtes de Provence and Côteaux Varois en Provence appellations. Head winemaker Dale Clarke oversees production with a focus on organic farming practices. Maximum leaf coverage protects the grapes during the growing season, with careful leaf plucking two weeks before harvest to allow light and air to the bunches.
Coteaux Varois sits at a higher altitude (around 350 metres) than much of coastal Provence. The cooler, more continental climate and clay-limestone soils rich in flint produce rosés with excellent freshness, precision and aromatic character.
Selladore En Provence Rosé is sealed with a Vinolok glass closure rather than cork or screwcap. It provides an excellent airtight seal while remaining easy to open and reseal. The distinctive bottle is also worth keeping once empty – ideal as a water bottle or for making sloe gin, flavoured vinegar or dressings.
Also available as a 1.5 litre Magnum – perfect for parties, celebrations and summer entertaining.
Selladore En Provence Rosé is a beautiful pale shade of pink. The wine has a lively nose exuding stone fruit and citrus fruit aromas. An enveloping silky texture on the palate is balanced with refreshing acidity and bone-dry flavours of peaches and grapefruits. It has a long, lingering finish.
Selladore En Provence Rosé pairs beautifully with summer salads, warm goat’s cheese salad, couscous, grilled fish, seafood and chicken. It’s also excellent as an aperitif.
For something unexpected, try it with cottage pie; it works surprisingly well!
What grapes are used in Selladore En Provence Rosé?
Selladore En Provence Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Vermentino — also known locally in Provence as Rolle. The Grenache provides aromatic depth and body, Syrah adds structure and spice, Cinsault contributes freshness and delicacy, and Rolle brings a distinctive peachy richness to the blend.
Is Selladore En Provence Rosé a dry wine?
Yes — Selladore En Provence Rosé is a dry rosé in the classic Provence style. It has a refreshing natural acidity that balances the stone fruit character on the palate, making it excellent with food as well as on its own as an aperitif.
What does Selladore En Provence Rosé taste like?
The nose is aromatic and inviting, with notes of stone fruit and citrus. On the palate it is silky and enveloping, with flavours of peach and grapefruit and a long, dry, lingering finish. It is pale in colour — the hallmark of serious Provence rosé — and considerably more food-friendly and complex than its price point suggests.
How should I serve Selladore En Provence Rosé?
Serve chilled at around 8–10°C. Avoid serving it too cold — very low temperatures close down the wine’s aromatics and flavours. Remove from the fridge 10 minutes before serving for the best drinking experience.
Was Selladore En Provence Rosé previously known by a different name?
Yes — the wine was previously sold as Williams Chase Rosé and built a loyal following under that name. The wine itself is unchanged: same estate, same winemaking team, same blend. Only the name has been updated to reflect the Selladore brand identity.
