Château Vignelaure owes its existence to Georges Brunet, one time owner of Bordeaux third growth Château La Lagune who established the estate just north of Aix-en-Provence in the 1960s. Choosing a site of clay, limestone and gravel covering some 60 hectares of beautiful Provençal countryside 350 metres above sea level, he set about planting cabernet sauvignon using cuttings taken from his Bordeaux estate. Despite the difficulties of ripening cabernet fully in this setting, and despite being embraced by protective hills, he made high-quality wines. In 1985 the region as a whole was approved for appellation contrôlée status as Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence.

"The 2023 Rosé is an exuberant wine that has a lot going on for it: rustic, savory herbaceousness, sweet tropical fruit, vibrant acidity, textural complexity and a long, perfumed finish. It's certainly not a shy wine, and in this case, that's definitely not a bad thing. The 2023 wears its heart on its sleeve." Vinous Media, 91 Points
