Wine description
On the edge of the coastline, the Château de l'Hospitalet overlooks the Mediterranean from a height of around one hundred metres. Benefiting from a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with a mild winter variant, the vineyard enjoys exceptional climatic conditions: the Mediterranean heat and sunshine are tempered by altitude, allowing for the slow ripening of the grapes — the ideal condition for a fine aromatic expression of the wines and tannins.
This Art Collection cuvée comes from a single-plot selection that highlights, in this 2025 edition, a work by Hervé Di Rosa, co-founder of the Figuration Libre movement. In "Vendange Joyeuse", he offers a solar and exuberant vision, in resonance with the popular traditions of the South and the nomadic spirit of his artistic approach.
Food & Wine pairings suggested by our chef
Serve at 16°C with a rack of lamb, game birds or aged cheeses.
Winemaking and ageing
Harvesting healthy, ripe grapes is a crucial step in achieving a high level of quality. The harvest is done by hand, and the grapes are taken to the winery in containers within the hour. The grapes are sorted and then destemmed before being placed in a temperature-controlled vat.
Tasting note
The colour is a deep, intense red, offering
a beautiful visual concentration that heralds a wine of
character. The nose reveals expressive aromas of garrigue,
accompanied by subtle notes of spices and blackcurrant,
bringing complexity and typicity. The palate is round and velvety, revealing a beautiful aromatic richness marked by scents of thyme, garrigue and black fruits, notably blackcurrant.

Keep away from sunlight and at a constant temperature

Each product page provides a food and wine pairing suggestion suited to the cuvée. Our online tasting assistant can also advise you based on your menu.
The ageing potential depends on the cuvée and vintage — it is specified in this wine's technical sheet.

The alcohol content (% vol.) varies by cuvée and vintage; it is listed in the product’s technical data sheet, below the description.
The majority of our red, white and rosé wines are dry. Our natural sweet wines (Rivesaltes, Maury...) and certain crémants are sweet or semi-dry. The style (dry/sweet) of this cuvée is specified in its description.
The grape varieties, appellation and terroir of origin are indicated in this product’s technical data sheet.
Like almost all wines, our cuvées contain sulphites (naturally present during fermentation, sometimes added in small quantities as a preservative). Details (“no added sulphites”, level, etc.) are specified on this product’s technical data sheet and on the back label.

This depends on the wine and its age, as specified on the technical data sheet where relevant. As a general rule, our powerful age-worthy wines benefit from being decanted 30 minutes to 1 hour before tasting; lighter wines, whites and rosés can be served directly.
