Domaine la Navicelle, A Flot, Rosé
Domaine la Navicelle, A Flot, Rosé
Owned by the Swedish Kamprad family (founders of the multinational retail company IKEA), La Navicelle is tucked into the side of the “Colle Noire” massive and neighbors to Clos Cibonne, overlooking the sea near Toulon. This 21-hectare estate produces wines that showcase the stunning terroir its vines are rooted in - with northern exposure and thus later ripening vineyards, resulting in greater acid retention and increased complexity in the mature grapes.
Presentation
A Flot (Afloat in French) rosé is so organic and biodynamic, it practically hugs trees while it ferments! With a minimalistic winemaking style that's as light as a feather, this wine sports the pale hue iconic to its region but packs a punch in flavor. Its native yeast fermentation is like a secret ingredient, sprinkling complexity into every sip and showcasing the savvy agriculture at Domaine la Navicelle. It's like the wine whispers, "I'm more than just a pretty color!"
Vinification
Sunrise to noon is the magic window for our harvest, capturing the cool, crisp dawn essence. Each grape is destemmed and gently crushed under a chilly veil to shun oxidation. Then, the journey begins – both free run and pressed juices glide into stainless sanctuaries, kicking off fermentation. It's all under the watchful eye of our high-tech, gravity-fed cellar, where temperatures are kept in check like a maestro conducting an orchestra.
