Winemaker
Dominique Hauvette works near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Her biodynamic approach seeks balance in the vineyard first, with a strong personal conviction about how the land should be farmed.

Wine
Cornaline combines Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark berries, thyme and a savoury, finely structured palate. The 2019 has the warmth expected of Provence, with enough definition to keep it composed. Give it time in the glass and food with equal substance: lamb, duck or a slow vegetable braise.

Origin
The Alpilles' limestone landscape surrounds the domaine near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Mediterranean heat ripens the grapes, while the mistral brings dry air through the vineyards. Exposure and the surrounding hills shape the balance between generous fruit and a more defined finish.
