Domaine Hauvette 's cuvée Pétra is a true gourmet rosé, far from the region's standards. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, it's a cuvée of intent, driven by the inimitable Dominique Hauvette. The entire winemaking process was carried out in concrete eggs to preserve the wine's substance and, above all, its freshness.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : Rosé is often considered an uninteresting wine, at odds with gustatory and gastronomic expectations. The image of "thirst-quenching rosés" and other high-yielding wines is tenacious, and does a disservice to the highly qualitative productions of Provence' s fine wine estates such as Domaine Hauvette and Domaine de Terrebrune, to name but a few. Pétra is a great rosé from the Alpilles region, present on some of the world's finest tables. It combines precise, moving structure, refreshing minerality and bewitching fruitiness.
The wine develops intense notes of candied citrus zest, vine peach and pink berries. A superb herbaceous touch of garrigue and lovage takes this bouquet to gastronomic heights, where the mineral notes of the Baux de Provence terroir come to the fore after a few minutes of oxygenation.
The palate matches the nose in freshness and clarity. The wine is full-bodied and seductive, bringing a real delicacy to the whole. The smoothness of the fruity aromas and the minerality of the peppery touches make this wine both juicy and crystalline. Dominique Hauvette's great Provence rosé is sure to impress.
