Price: 18,00€
DESCRIPTION
The Provence way of life…in a bottle. Situated in the stunning Luberon region of Provence, this winery stands out from the crowd thanks to its know-how, its location and diversity of grape varieties. Les Hautes Collines transforms into art the subtle alliance of a Grenache (41%), Carignan (16%) and Syrah (43%). This organic wine is aged for 36 months in stainless steel tanks or oak vats…depending on the grape variety in question. The bouquet reveals the juiciness of little black fruits and morello cherries. Once it has been aerated a bit, the aromatic palette opens up and smokey and chocolate-y notes swiftly answer the call. On the palate, this wine is generous and fresh, with a clean, crisp attack. The tannins are elegant and fine like silk to the touch. This red wine has a velvety long finish. The perfect match for roasted guinea fowl with chanterelle mushrooms, a duck breast with cranberry sauce or a squash gratin with chestnuts.
REGION
Provence
France
Provence, located in the far southeast of France, is an iconic wine region bathed in Mediterranean sunshine. Its hot, dry, and bright climate, combined with a wide variety of soils (schist, limestone, clay), makes it an ideal terroir for crafting expressive and well-balanced wines.
The undisputed star of the region is rosé, which reigns supreme: fresh, fruity, and delicate, it perfectly embodies the Provençal art of living. The Côtes de Provence appellation—the largest and most renowned in the region—spans a vast area from the Alpine foothills to the Var coastline. It is synonymous with elegant rosés featuring notes of citrus, white flowers, and red berries, highly appreciated for their freshness and finesse.
Provence also produces rich reds and subtle whites, still relatively unknown, but well worth the attention of curious wine lovers.

Sunnier than 2019, but just as balanced. Perfect with veal chop.
