The story behind Channe
Channe was founded in 2017 by Kavita Channe, an Indian-British broadcaster who came back from Provence in 2016 convinced the American shelf was missing something: real dry Provencal rose. The grapes are handpicked from sustainably farmed family vineyards near Hyeres and the Saint-Tropez area, inside the AOP Cotes de Provence, and the wine is made with a French winemaker named Thomas.
The flagship is a proprietary blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre, pale copper, 13% ABV, with low sugar and a clean mineral finish. The 2022 vintage scored 88 points from Wine Enthusiast, and the rose has medaled at the Concours General Agricole in France. We have poured it for customers who want the real thing, not a sweet imitation.
