Domaine de la Mongestine is a young estate pursuing organic viticulture with biodynamic principles in a region known for mass produced rosé for easy poolside enjoyment. However, new owners Harry and Celine Gozlan envision a project focused on farming with great care and making wines simply. The estate was certified organic in 2014 and is now undergoing the process of transition to biodynamic viticulture as well.

Tasting
This striking white opens with intense aromatics of mixed nuts and peach that set the stage for a powerful expression of crushed flowers and grass in the mouth. Rolle (or Vermentino), packed with quince and pear flavors, takes the lead. Acidity and a fresh, textured character give a saline edge. Caudalies is versatile—and very much a wine for food. It is delicate enough to pair with light fish dishes and salads, but also strong enough to match with salmon, seafood, or a nice charcuterie platter.
* All wines contain sulphur dioxide in various forms, described under the general term of sulfites. As much as 10mg/litre of sulfites can be found even in wine made without the addition of sulphur, as during the vinification process, at the fermentation stage, the yeasts produce sulphur naturally.
