Rosé de Zaza comes from Syrah vines planted at 550-600 meters elevation in Tarerach, a granite-soiled village in the Pyrénées-Orientales, roughly 20 kilometers west of Perpignan. The wine is labeled Vin de France because this parcel sits outside the Collioure AOC boundary. Vinification is direct press, native yeast fermentation in stainless steel vats, with no fining, no filtration, and zero added sulfites. Bottled early, typically in January following harvest.
The vines are farmed organically (Ecocert certified) and biodynamically, with permanent cover crop and inter-row work done by horse. Yields run around 20 hl/ha. The granite-arena soils at this altitude produce a Syrah with markedly different character from the domaine's schist-based Banyuls parcels — cooler temperatures preserve freshness and lift that the lower coastal sites cannot achieve.
On the nose, expect wild strawberry, garrigue, and red currant with a tangy, almost rhubarb-like edge. The palate is juicy and structured for a rosé, with crisp acidity and enough weight to pair with food. This is one of Jordi Perez's own cuvées, introduced after he took over Casot des Mailloles from founders Alain Castex and Ghislaine Magnier in 2015. The wine was later renamed Médée in subsequent vintages.
