Queen Cotes de Provence 2025

Queen Côtes de Provence Rosé is an exciting, premium new project conceived and led by Roger Taylor OBE of Queen, developed in collaboration with Sony Music, Watermill Wines, Les Caves du Commandeur and Rupert Clevely.

Taylor has been involved throughout the development of the wine, working with the winemaking team on its style and blend. The wine is produced in Provence by Les Caves du Commandeur in Montfort-sur-Argens, who take their name from a famous Templar castle that overlooks the town a winery famous for producing premium wines and founded in 1913 that brings together 60 growers.

The vineyards span approximately 650 hectares, at around 300m of altitude across nine surrounding communes, where limestone-clay soils and a Mediterranean climate provide favourable conditions for rosé production. More than 90% of the vineyards are certified organic or High Environmental Value.

The inaugural release, Cuvée Rock ‘n’ Roll 2025, is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Cinsault. It captures the essence of Provence with a rhapsody of aromas of wild strawberry and ripe red berries on the nose. The beautifully balanced texture harmonises ripe, subtle fruit with fresh citrus acidity, giving silky creaminess to the mid palate, un unmistakable sign of great rose. The cuvee is approachable, yet delicate.
