Ruby red colour with a bright purple hue. The nose is a burst of wild red and black berry fruits accompanied by a touch of white spice. The palate is medium bodied, fresh, fruity and pleasant, with good acidity and a moreish aftertaste.
*Product price excluding taxes, shipping and handling costs.
When you place an order for the wines, the winery will receive your request and return to you with an answer if they are able to ship the quantity of wine bottles you requested to your location.
If the winery is able to fulfil your order, they will quote you a total price for the purchase that includes taxes, shipping and other handling fees - the price quoted above is the product price exclusive of these additional costs. You can choose to accept or reject this quote.
If you accept, the winery will be responsible for the sales, shipping and subsequent communication with you, the customer, to realise the transaction.
A geo-winemaker's dream
Domaine de la Bouvaude is, above all, a passionate dream come true. This adventure began with the encounter between Alain Blachon, a trained geologist and winemaker at heart, and the rocks that form the Safres mountains and surround the vineyards.
The Safres, these sandstone hills, are the origin of the sandy clay or sandy pebbles soils that make the terroir of Rousset-les-Vignes something unique.
These rocks are the remains of the ancient Mediterranean, which sculpted an archipelago landscape that we can still make out. Alluvial deposits, torn from the nearby Alps, were deposited here. Thanks to the lightness of these soils and the numerous mineral elements they contain, we obtain wines of great finesse at Rousset-les-Vignes.
The ancient Greeks were not mistaken, and it was they who brought wine to the region. Vineyards then developed in the 15th century.
Terroir is a matter of soil, but also of climate. Here in Rousset-les-Vignes, the Provençal climate, combined with an altitude of 450m, allows for optimal ripeness of the grapes while maintaining great freshness. The Mistral, a north wind, cleans the vineyard and helps limit attacks on the vines.
But of course, the terroir needs peasant know-how to express itself.
Alain Blachon and his team have begun a conversion to organic farming (Ecocert) for the twenty hectares of the estate, a logical continuation of the efforts that were previously put in place in favor of biodiversity.
The goal is to continue preserving this setting, to adopt a sustainable approach with a controlled environmental impact and respect for ecological balances. The HVE label obtained by the Estate reinforces the initial results obtained.
Furthermore, Alain is moving towards plot-by-plot vinification to reveal the mysteries of this terroir. A new gravity-fed cellar will open in 2023, which will allow for better control over vinification and wine aging, and a striving for greater excellence.
The Domaine de la Bouvaude score is played by several hands, with a team made up of young talents (Julie Gravelet, cellar master, Yann Jacob, vineyard manager), without forgetting Pascal Chatonnet, our internationally renowned consulting oenologist.
A synergy where new ideas for the Estate abound.
We have three main wine families:
