Kalliope Rosé 2025
Kalliope Rosé is the very first wine of Domaine de Cambis — the one that started it all. In 2004, when Martin and Annick Perolari settled in Berlou (Hérault) to create their organic wine estate, they decided to make a rosé that went against the grain, at a time when it was not yet fashionable. An act of freedom and conviction that proved visionary.
Made from Cinsault and Syrah vines planted on the brown schist terroirs of the AOP Saint-Chinian Berlou appellation, Kalliope Rosé is a faithful reflection of its mountain terroir at 300 metres of altitude: freshness, elegance, natural aromatic concentration. An organic rosé from the Languedoc that reconciles wine lovers with the great gastronomic rosés.
Terroir & Grape Varieties
Made from old Cinsault and Syrah grown under Agriculture Biologique (certified organic farming) on the brown schist of Berlou, Hérault — the heart of the AOP Saint-Chinian Berlou appellation. The poor, free-draining schist soils force the vine to dig deep, producing grapes concentrated in aromas while retaining a fine natural acidity. A mountain terroir (300 m of altitude) that gives the wines of Berlou a freshness that is unique in the Languedoc.
Aromatic Profile
A pale pink colour with salmon highlights. On the nose, delicate aromas of wild strawberries, white peach and garrigue flowers. The palate is fresh and elegant, with a fine tension and a lingering finish on citrus and sweet spices — the signature of the organic wines of AOP Saint-Chinian Berlou. A gastronomic rosé that transcends the clichés.
Tasting & Service
Serving temperature
