2022 Hauvette 'Roucas' Grenache Blend

$82.00

The 2022 red Alpilles Roucas is a pure and vibrant Syrah with remarkable freshness, subtle smoky bacon notes, and fresh tannins. It features a deep, flavourful profile with stone fruits, a hint of wood, and bursts of blackcurrant and blackberry. The wine’s sapid, thirst-quenching start and delicate tannins offer excellent balance. The finish is spicy and slightly smoky, with hints of black pepper and dried peppers, making it both delightful and highly digestible.

Domaine Hauvette

Near Saint-Remy-de-Provence, known for Roman ruins and Van Gogh’s 'The Starry Night,' lies Domaine Hauvette. Since 1988, Dominique Hauvette has crafted exceptional wines in the northern Les Alpilles foothills. With old vines in rocky, limestone-rich soils, the estate has been biodynamic since 2003, previously organic. Grapes are handpicked, sorted, and minimally altered during winemaking. Celebrated for her uncompromising standards, Hauvette was named Winemaker of the Year in 2020 by La Revue du Vin de France, which awarded her domaine 3 stars.
