Les Hauteurs - Dominique Hauvette à Tarerach - Côtes du Roussillon - Arpège -Rouge - 2015

Wine:

Crafted from a granite terroir at an altitude of over 500 meters, the 2015 Red Côtes du Roussillon Arpège is a truly unique wine. A Selection Committee Favorite rated 92/100, it offers a ripe nose around floral notes, rose in particular, with a smoky touch brought by the syrah grape varietal. The palate is delicate, with fine tannins. It is a 2015 faithful to its sunny vintage, without going into richness or an overbearing warmth. On the contrary, this high altitude terroir perfectly preserves the wine’s freshness.

Dominique Hauvette is a central figure in the Provence wine industry who has been taming her vines for more than 30 years with the same energy but also patience and sensitivity. Demanding in her choices of viticulture (biodynamic since 2003), of vinification (destemming and infusion of the berries) and of maturation (vats, tuns, barrels, concrete eggs), she respects as no one else does the origins of the soils and the authenticity of her terroirs, producing magnificent reds wines of superb expression, with an infused and vibrant style.

She is a horse lover and breeder of purebred Arab horses. While taking them to graze in Tearrach, in the Eastern Pyrenees, she fell in love with the region and decided to grow vines there as well. Thus was born her new estate, Les Hauteurs, with the same requirements as the one in Baux-de-Provence.

Crowned winemaker of the year 2020 by the famous French guide of the RVF with three stars in its Green Guide, their highest award, this emblematic personality leaves no one indifferent.
