Domaine De La Mongestine, Caudalies, Red
Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic viticulture with biodynamic principles in a region known for mass produced rosé for easy poolside enjoyment. However, new owners Harry and Celine Gozlan envision a project focused on farming with great care and making wines simply. The estate was certified organic in 2014 and is now undergoing the process of transition to biodynamic viticulture as well.
The story
A curious name for a curious bottle of wine, ‘Bob Singlar’ is a blend of Merlot, Marselan, and Pinot Noir with a dash of Roussanne. A true vin de soif, this buoyant blend represents the newest development at Mongestine. Organic fruit, native yeasts ferments, no oak aging, and low sulfur (10ppm at bottling) make this the perfect red to chill and drink with abandon.
Vinification
The grapes are farmed organically on hillside slopes, handpicked, fermented separately with native yeasts in stainless steel vessels, and bottled (after the final blend) with minimal sulfur. They avoid barrel aging preferring inert tanks and amphora, which allows for micro-oxygenation but does not obscure their terroir.
