Situated in Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic and biodynamic viticulture. This is a rarity in their region that is known for mass produced rosé for easy poolside enjoyment. However, new owners Harry and Celine Gozlan envision a project focused on farming with great care and making wines simply. Their 31 planted hectares are mainly on the clay and limestone soils of North facing slopes which rise up to 450 meters making them some of the highest in the appellation. These qualities ensure a longer maturation process to preserve freshness in the fruit and acidity.
Notes of acacia, lemon, pear, soft tannin. An easy drinking orange wine and great introduction for those weary of this style,
