DOMAINE DE L’ÎLE ROSE 2021
Bottle Shot

Domaine de L’Ile is situated on Porquerolles, a frankly stunning island off the south coast of France, accessible only by boat from Toulon or from a pennisula south of Hyeres. The terrior is both beautiful and special – A mixture of millennia schist and marine influence. In fact the schist is very similar to the soils found just over the water on the famous Clos de Mirelle of Domaine Ott.

Hand-picked. 32% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 20% Cinsault, 12% Mourvedre, 5% Tibouren. Primary ferment in tank, no malolactic and aged in tank

I know. Cote de Provence Blanc? It’s the same eyebrow raising response I get when passionately describing Domaine de Bagnol Blanc from Cassis. Thing is there’s something special about white’s from this region when they sit right next to the ocean, A salinity that’s unescapable. Planted on Schist and Clay soils just a few hundred meters from the ocean.

Hand-picked. 100% Rolle (Vermentino). Primary ferment in tank, no malolactic and aged in tank. With only 500 cases made each year it’s now completely allocated worldwide.
