Génération 11 is much more than a name—it celebrates the eleven generations of the family that have shaped Château de Saint-Martin.
The cuvée connects the history of this historic Cru Classé estate with its future, reflecting a philosophy centered on the vineyard, biodiversity, and regenerative agriculture.
Even the distinctive label tells the story. Its natural green tones and recycled paper reflect the estate's connection to the vineyard, while the fingerprint represents both the family's eleventh generation and the unique imprint each generation leaves on the estate.
In the glass, however, Génération 11 remains wonderfully uncomplicated: fresh, generous, elegant and unmistakably Provençal.
The 2025 vintage gives Génération 11 an expressive and immediately appealing character.
Fresh summer fruits and fragrant citrus dominate the aromatic profile, while the palate offers more generosity and texture than its pale color might initially suggest.
The defining characteristic is balance—ripe Mediterranean fruit accompanied by excellent freshness and a lively, clean finish.
This rosé is designed primarily for youthful enjoyment.

Grilled Fish · Shrimp · Tuna · Sushi · Ceviche · Mediterranean Salads · Burrata · Grilled Vegetables · Chicken · White Meats · Pasta · Provençal Cuisine
Pair with grilled local fish, shrimp, Mediterranean vegetables, or a fresh burrata salad.
Génération 11 has enough generosity to work particularly well with grilled chicken or other white meats, while its citrus freshness makes it equally successful with seafood.
For Cayman, this is a wonderfully versatile rosé: aperitif, lunch, sunset or dinner.
It has the easy freshness guests expect from Provence rosé, but with enough character and texture to remain interesting at the table.
