Rolle and Clairette join Grenache and Syrah in this rosé, with fine-lees ageing adding texture.

Winemaker
Sylvie and Jean-Philippe Nicolet established Domaine du Loup Bleu in 2011 beneath Mont Sainte-Victoire. Organic agriculture has been part of the estate from the start.

The name combines the local landscape with their interest in aviation. Their inland Provençal vineyards grow Grenache, Syrah and white varieties including Rolle and Clairette. Direct pressing and lees ageing give their rosé both delicate fruit and texture.

Wine
Four varieties contribute to Vol de Nuit: Grenache, Syrah, Rolle and Clairette. Direct pressing and time on fine lees give the wine its supple shape.

Redcurrant and flowers, with a light herbal note beneath the fruit. The palate is rounded at first, then finishes fresh and dry.

Origin
The vineyards lie beneath Mont Sainte-Victoire in inland Provence. The mountain setting and Mediterranean climate bring strong sunshine alongside cooler conditions than the immediate coast.
