Domaine Hauvette Cornaline Baux De Provence Aop, 2012

Domaine Hauvette Cornaline 2012 is a distinctive red from the heart of Provence, offering the kind of character and authenticity that make the region so compelling. Known for its graceful structure and sense of place, it reflects the thoughtful, low-intervention style that has made Domaine Hauvette one of the most respected names in the Baux-de-Provence.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep, mature ruby hue with garnet reflections beginning to emerge with age. The nose is often layered and nuanced, with notes that can suggest dark berries, dried herbs, garrigue, spice, and subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, Cornaline tends to balance ripe fruit with savory depth, offering a textured, supple feel and an underlying Mediterranean freshness. The 2012 vintage should now be entering a more developed phase, with the structure softened and the aromatic profile more complex, though it may still hold enough concentration to continue aging gracefully for a few more years.

Production
Produced in the Baux-de-Provence appellation, this wine comes from a warm Mediterranean terroir shaped by sun, limestone, and the wild herb-scented landscape typical of Provence. Domaine Hauvette is known for careful vineyard work and an artisanal approach in the cellar, with hand-harvesting and vinification designed to preserve purity and express the character of the site.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for Provençal cuisine, grilled lamb, roast poultry, game, ratatouille, and herb-driven dishes. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the bottle has been resting for a long time, especially to open up the more evolved aromatics.

Domaine Hauvette is a benchmark producer in Provence, recognized for its disciplined, thoughtful winemaking and its strong identity within the Baux-de-Provence appellation. The estate has earned a loyal following for wines that combine elegance, depth, and terroir expression, helping to define the region’s reputation for serious, age-worthy reds.
