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 have partnered up with Maxime Gamard, a local winemaker with a penchant for natural wines and expertise in producing strictly organic and biodynamic wines. MADMED is their joint venture in the world of modern packaging and canned wines.

Tasting
Lighter than a conventional red and darker than rosé, this food-friendly style wine features crisp red fruits and a generous character lending a ripe, jammy juice with attractive and rich character. It has spice and tannins as well as the fruit, all coming together well. Canned wine may seem like a gimmick but portability is the biggest advantage here: there's no fear of broken bottles, needing the corkscrew, or avoiding beaches and parks that ban glass, and the complete packaging is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly in terms of weight and waste management.
