In the spring of 2022, Michel Reybier announced his partnership with international athlete Tony Parker at La Mascaronne. A year later, their first vintage, Château La Mascaronne Rosé 2022, is a well-deserved triumph, a perfect balance between finesse and vivacity.

It is complemented by a newly created premium rosé wine that will go even further to promote the reputation of the Provençal estate.

A true ambassador of the French art of living in the United States, Tony Parker deftly masters the art of bringing cultures and generations closer together. Passionate about the world of wine, he enjoys setting new challenges and working with the best of the best to meet them. At La Mascaronne, he has honed his knowledge of viticulture alongside the estate’s teams, taken part in the harvest, and participated in the blending process.

His commitment allows him to cross over from one phase of winemaking to the next, making him a precious pivot in developing and distributing the brand around the globe.

“Michel Reybier is teaching me about winemaking. We have great dreams and are going to make La Mascaronne a global standard,” declares Tony Parker.

A winning formula indeed for the former NBA champion, with a first vintage that offers wonderful balance between smoothness and structure and delicate notes of white peach, citrus fruit, and pineapple!

2022 also marked the creation of the Grande Réserve Rosé, a wine that fully reveals the outstanding nature of La Mascaronne’s Provençal terroir. The wine is crafted from Grenache, Mourvèdre, and the estate’s oldest Rolle grapes grown on the clay-limestone soils of the historic “Pigeonnier” (dovecote), “Restanques” (stone-walled terraces), and “Château” plots.

It is a small-batch production crafted in an environmentally sound fashion that incarnates the terroir on which it is grown.

Fresh and luminous, the wines are a consummate expression of the essence of the estate’s miraculous land, a delight for the sunny days of summer.
