Palette Wines
Château Simone is one of France’s oldest and most intriguing wines, hailing from an ancient vineyard secreted just within the city limits of Aix-en-Provence. Red, white and rosé wines are produced here under the careful patronage of the Rougier family who have made wine here for over 200 years. Château Simone constitutes three-quarters of the tiny 25 hectare appellation of Palette (there is only one other producer), which is home to France’s broadest permitted array of grape varieties (17 compared to 13 allowed in Châteauneuf du Pape) the most anachronistic of which (Branforcas and Manosquin) are planted in miniscule volumes.
