The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Dominique Hauvette is a central figure in Provence, tending to her vineyards for over 30 years with the same energy, patience, and sensitivity. Biodynamic farming, low yields, a gentle winemaking process without artificial additives and without sulfur, along with meticulous aging in tanks, barrels, large wooden casks, and concrete eggs, result in wines of superb expression, infused with a vibrant style regardless of the cuvée.

This sensitive winemaker has now become one of the most respected figures in Provence, with accolades including Winemaker of the Year 2020 by RVF (La Revue du Vin de France) and a 3-star rating in the Green Guide. Her iconic personality leaves no one indifferent.
Wine Carried by the energy of old Cinsault vines, the 2020 red IGP Alpilles Améthyste is a radiant wine. Delicious floral, spicy, and garrigue notes punctuate a fresh, elegant, and refined texture. Already irresistibly delicious, it is one of those great wines that reveal themselves over the course of minutes, offering great texture and tannins. A rare wine produced in small quantities, highly sought after by connoisseurs. Rated 94/100 by RVF.
Vinification Hand harvested, totally destemmed, vinification in wooden truncated cone vats with daily light punching of the cap. Aged in ovoid concrete vats for 1 year.

Organic wine, certified.
