Provence , Domaine La Navicelle, La Navicelle, Aop Côtes-de-provence, Blanc
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
Devoted to crafting exceptional white wines, the 'Colle Noire' vineyard, situated in a north-facing position with unwavering views of the Mediterranean, epitomizes the essence of white wine terroir. Here, the harmonious blend of Rolle and Clairette yields whites that showcase Provence at its most characteristic and spectacular: wines of unmatched richness and salinity that are truly incomparable.
Vinification
La Navicelle distinguishes itself through its commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, embracing a 'less is more' philosophy in every step of winemaking. Freshly pressed, this wine proudly displays its region's signature pale hue, yet surprises with its robust flavors. The native yeast fermentation creates a rich tapestry of complexity, highlighting the meticulous care taken in both vineyard and cellar. This wine is more than just a beverage; it's a testament to the art of thoughtful craftsmanship.
