Domaine de la Mongestine La Roussanne
Country: France
Region: Provence
Grapes: Roussanne
Vintage: 2024
Domaine de la Mongestine is a young organic domaine in the Haut-Var region of Provence, about 50km east of Aix. The soil here is predominantly clay-limestone and while the climate is Mediterranean, the wines possess exquisite freshness and tension as a consequence of the vines being grown on a single large north-facing slope.
La Roussanne is a lovely southern French white made with low sulphur from biodynamic grapes near Aix. An enticingly smoky nose with fresh-cut peaches and apricots. Ripe and vibrant on the palate with great texture.
