Roucas 2022 - Domaine Hauvette

The Roucas 2022 cuvée is an expression of the identity of the clay-limestone soils of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, this wine comes from demanding viticulture practiced using biodynamic methods (Biodyvin certified). The 2022 vintage, marked by generous sunshine, was perfectly mastered by Dominique Hauvette, who favors gentle extraction and long aging to preserve the natural freshness of the Provençal soils.

Visually, the wine displays a ruby color with purplish highlights, clear and bright. The nose is of great aromatic purity, opening with notes of small red fruits (raspberry, wild strawberry) and garrigue (rosemary, rockrose), complemented by a hint of white pepper and licorice. The aging, carried out mainly in concrete vats and foudres, respects the integrity of the fruit without any oak influence, favoring a crystalline expression of the terroir.

On the palate, the Roucas 2022 is distinguished by a supple texture and a structure of great elegance. The attack is soft, revealing fine substance and a mineral tension that brings uprightness to the whole. The tannins are silky, almost powdery, leading to a savory, persistent finish with great drinkability. It is a wine that combines the ripeness of the South with a remarkable finesse of texture.
