Domaine Hauvette Roucas Alpilles Igp, 2023

Domaine Hauvette’s Roucas Alpilles IGP 2023 is a beautifully poised Provence red that brings together freshness, finesse, and the unmistakable character of its limestone-rich southern French surroundings. Crafted by one of Provence’s most respected biodynamic estates, it offers a stylish, terroir-driven expression that stands out for its purity and elegance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this vintage typically shows a bright, vivid color with a fresh and approachable profile. The nose leans toward red berries, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle earthy notes, giving it an inviting aromatic lift. On the palate, it is likely to be supple and finely textured, with juicy fruit, gentle structure, and a savory, mineral edge that reflects the Provençal landscape. The balance of freshness and depth suggests it can be enjoyed in its youth, while still having the potential to develop additional nuance over a few years.

Production
The Roucas Alpilles IGP comes from the Alpilles area of Provence, where warm sunshine, cooling influences, and limestone soils help shape wines with fragrance and tension. Domaine Hauvette is known for attentive, low-intervention farming, with careful vineyard work and hand harvesting to preserve fruit quality. Vinification is typically gentle and precise, allowing the character of the site and vintage to come through with minimal interference.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red that works well with grilled lamb, roast chicken with herbs, ratatouille, charcuterie, and Mediterranean vegetable dishes. Serve slightly cool, around 15–16°C, to bring out its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not essential, but a short airing can help open the wine if served young.
