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.
One of Dominique Hauvette’s most sought-after reds, Améthyste is built around old-vine Cinsault, complemented by small amounts of Carignan and Grenache, grown on the stony clay-limestone soils of the Alpilles. The grapes are destemmed and gently infused rather than heavily extracted, with spontaneous fermentation followed by ageing in concrete eggs.
Wild strawberry and redcurrant meet violet, thyme, rosemary and subtle spice. The palate is remarkably fine and fluid, with silky tannins, vibrant freshness and a persistent mineral character. Delicate yet quietly intense, combining Mediterranean warmth with remarkable elegance and precision, and finishing long, floral and gently savoury.
