Domaine Hauvette is one of the leading biodynamic estates of southern France, farmed with precision and humility by Dominique Hauvette. She works 17 hectares of vines in the arid limestone foothills of the Alpilles, a Provençal landscape marked by high elevation, poor soils, and the persistent mistral wind. This natural environment lends itself to low intervention viticulture, and Hauvette has been certified biodynamic since 2003. Everything is done by hand, and her cellar is low tech but meticulous, with fermentation often taking place in concrete or stone vessels and élevage designed to emphasise structure, longevity, and clarity of expression.
Cornaline is her flagship red, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from low-yielding vines grown on sun-exposed slopes. In 2019, a cooler, balanced vintage with a dry harvest period allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving freshness and aromatic clarity. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and significant whole-cluster inclusion, the wine aged for 18 months in large, neutral Austrian foudres to avoid the imprint of oak while developing texture and complexity. The result is savoury and layered, wild cherries, garrigue herbs, olives, and dark spice, all carried by firm tannins and a mineral backbone. A wine built for ageing, but already quietly expressive.
