Domaine De La Mongestine, Roussanne, Igp Var, Blanc
Situated in Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic viticulture with biodynamic principles. This is a rarity in their region that is 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 story
Further breaking the mold for Provence winemaking, la Mongestine produces their wines with minimal intervention. None of the wines see sulfur until bottling. Native yeast fermentations allow the estate to showcase the different terroirs of their estate. They avoid barrel aging preferring inert tanks and amphora, which allows for micro-oxygenation but does not obscure their terroir.
