The most intriguing wines live at the intersection of Old World and New World winemaking. A modern rosé built on centuries of heritage in Provence. An old-school rosé crafted from New World dirt in Washington State. Each has its own character, its own persona. The point is to share ideas and energy and passion across regions to create soulful wines that speak to their terroir. I’m Charles Bieler, and I’ve been making wine this way for more than 20 years.
My father, Philippe Bieler, began making rosé in Provence almost 30 years ago. This early influence left an indelible impact on my own path and laid the foundation for my life’s work. To make rosé alongside my father in today’s world, when the category has finally come into its own in America, is truly a gift. As winemakers around the world attempt to mimic the classic Provence style of rosé - and for good reason - our aim is always to strike a delicate balance between floral tones, herbal notes, acidity and wild red fruit.
The wine naturally is a beautiful balance between red fruit and acid structure, without either element overpowering the other. Savory and citrus notes are framed by a mineral core.
In 1992, my father, Philippe Bieler, founded Chateau Routas in Coteaux Varois – a small appellation in the middle of Provence. The winery focused on Grenache based red blends and rosé. It is there, starting in 1998, that I learned the wine business and started producing wine. In 2005, there was a great opportunity to sell the winery and estate and my father took it. We founded Bieler Père et Fils that same year and have never looked back. It’s truly breathtaking for me to see how far the rosé market in America has developed from those challenging early days.
