Our Wines

The 2002 vintage was the first vintage for The Simpsons at Domaine de Sainte Rose.

The wines produced from the 2002 vintage onwards are of  the highest possible quality. The vines are managed in order to produce small yields of concentrated fruit, which are vinified in individual batches.  As a result of this vine management and vinification process the wines produced will only be available in very limited quantities.  The product range consists of both single varietal and blended wines.

Every attempt is made to provide complete transparency to the consumer as to the contents of the bottle and process employed to create the wine.

All wines are made from grapes grown on the property and are not bought from other vineyard owners.  We bottle all our wines on the property to ensure maximum quality control.  Pictures of the bottling process.

3rd Party Wine Reviews

"...a gorgeous southern French property owned by an adventurous Brit couple."

Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail, September 2007

"This is a domaine that should be added to our list of Leading producers of the Languedoc Roussillon"

Jancis Robinson, MW, Purple Pages 2007

"Tasting whites like these, I think it's the Australians, not the French, who should worry."

Tim Atkin, The Observer, June17 2007

"Charles and Ruth Simpson have made a success of their move to the Midi as this Sainte Rose LVN and LGE show."

Jane MacQuitty, The Times, March 2007

" Since purchasing the estate in 2002, Charles and Ruth Simpson have created some amazing wines and are gaining accolades from around the world."

Justin Howard-Sneyd MW, Waitrose Wine Direct, March 2007

"The most beautiful wines came from the Domaine de Sainte Rose with a first-class Roussanne (Barrel Selection), a very beautiful, polished and characterful chardonnay (Le Sirocco), in addition to a very convincing Syrah (Le Pinacle Syrah)."

"I have to say that the overall quality of these wines is excellent. The Simpson's intent is clear from the moment you pick up one of their super heavyweight bottles in their stylish packaging, and the wines live up to the promise in the bottle. These are decidedly modern wines, with full extraction and plenty of oak in some cuvées, yet the expression of the gape varieties and terroir of the south is not lost."

Tom Cannavan, wine-pages.com, 2005
 

"There's brilliant stuff to be had here and anyone not yet convinced should be pointed firmly in the direction of the likes of Domaine Sainte Rose......"

Berkmann Wine Cellars, 2003

"....the wines are smart and polished"

Simon Field, MW- Berry Brothers and Rudd, 2004
