The wines
TOP CUVEE: LA REBELLE DU PRIEURE SAINTE ANNE
In 2019, Annelies produced a small quantity of ‘top wine’ for the first time: the best 3 barrels of wine were selected by her and the oenologist to age in oak barrels for one year longer. The 900 bottles of LA REBELLE 2019 were not bottled until late 2021.
The success of this experiment led Annelies to decide to create a special cuvée from the 2022 and 2023 vintages as well.
L’INFIDELE, rosé du Prieuré Sainte Anne
In 2023, there was a lower-lying plot with lower sugar levels (just before the harvest); on the advice of the oenologist, it was decided to make a rosé, but in the Provençal style (short pressing, no contact with the skins, resulting in a very pale rosé made from Merlot grapes). The small quantity of 1,500 bottles was very quickly popular and sold out.
In 2024, Annelies produced 5,000 bottles of rosé because large parts of the vineyard had lower sugar levels that year as well (due to too little sunshine during the summer).
