Domaine de la Mongestine Coteaux d’Aix en Provence Rosé “Les Monges” 2022

The Domaine De La Mongestine is located in the centre of the Provence-Verdon region, near the village of Artigues (north east of Aix-en-Provence). The Domaine stretches over a long hillside of 40 ha, surrounded by forests, with a total area of 120 ha and culminating at 450 m altitude. The altitude coupled with the northern exposure creates a unique microclimate in Provence. In summer, the nights are cool and the days sunny and warm. Winter is cold and harsh. These parameters provide a climate that is more northern than it’s actual location.

Their biodynamic farming practices allow the estate to strengthen the natural vigor of the vines. A healthy and living grape (with its population of natural yeasts) enables a natural vinification.

The Les Monges Rosé is crystal clear and very light colored. You can smell fresh, fruity, subtle citrus aromas, mirabelle plum and white fruit flavors. In the mouth this Rosé is fresh with light citrus aromas, subtle apple flavors, and with a soft minerality. A fantastic light Rosé with surprising low alcohol for Provence standards.

Vintage 2022

This vintage is characterized by a light, salmon color, an elegant, fine and fruity nose as well as a fresh, delicious and digestible palate. The direct pressing of Cinsault and Grenache enhanced by a touch of Syrah and Vermentino , followed by aging on lees , make it one of the noblest rosés of the appellation.
