Tasting notes
Offering a nice fresh fruit and crunchy, Astralabe wine is less concentrated. A fine blend of Grenache majority and Syrah grown on cooler soils, such as the secret son of Abelard and Heloïse, this wine reveals more the ardor of youth.

About this wine
Chêne Bleu is a renowned wine producer nestled in the picturesque region of Provence, France. With a rich history dating back centuries, this esteemed estate has become synonymous with exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
The story of Chêne Bleu begins in the 11th century when the property was first established as a monastery. The monks recognized the unique terroir of the land, with its limestone-rich soil and ideal climate, and began cultivating vineyards. Over the years, the estate changed hands several times, each owner adding their own touch to the winemaking process.
Today, Chêne Bleu is owned by the renowned Abrial family, who have dedicated themselves to preserving the estate's heritage while embracing modern winemaking techniques. Their commitment to sustainable practices and organic farming has earned them accolades and recognition from wine enthusiasts around the world.
The style of production at Chêne Bleu is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for the land. The vineyards are carefully tended by hand, with each grape being individually selected and harvested at optimal ripeness. The grapes are then gently pressed and fermented using traditional methods, allowing the true expression of the terroir to shine through.
Chêne Bleu is known for producing a wide range of wines, each showcasing the unique characteristics of the region. Their red wines, crafted from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes, are bold and full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. These wines are perfect for pairing with hearty dishes such as roasted meats or aged cheeses.
The estate also produces exquisite white wines, made from a blend of Viognier, Roussanne, and Marsanne grapes. These wines are elegant and aromatic, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of minerality. They pair beautifully with seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses.
In addition to their red and white wines, Chêne Bleu also produces a limited quantity of rosé. Made from a blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes, this rosé is vibrant and refreshing, with flavors of red berries and a crisp, dry finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to a summer picnic or a leisurely afternoon by the pool.
