Domaine Les Fouques Cuvee Tradition Rose 2023
$ 38.00 incl. GST
Description
80% Grenache, 20% Cinsault.
A dry season sees a slight change in style for this cuvée, sketched in much sharper lines. It maintains the flesh, density and vinosity of previous releases, though offers far more mineral and acid definition. Defined by rockmelon and peach fruit flavours, there’s a big additional presence of red fruits – Jonathan apple skins and wild strawberries particularly, with a big pop of garrigue herbs, both aromatically and on the palate. Finishes fabulously with a cleansing mineral edge, we’re absolutely loving the evolved personality of this wine.

Domaine Les Fouques / Provence La Londe
A Rare Provençal Biodynamic Estate
Biodynamic viticulture is of surprising rarity in the Provence region given the ideal sunny and windy conditions; one outstanding practitioner is the tiny property of Domaine les Fouques, run by Yves Gros, with the wine made by daughter Christelle. Guinea fowl and chickens are also farmed here. At a mere 17 hectares and in a stunning setting, a visit here offers a somewhat mystical quality.
We are delighted to be now importing all three rosé cuvées from Fouques. These are terroir wines, make no mistake. There are consistencies of quality and style (the peach, melon and slate as the site’s signature) with vintage as the variable. Taste (or drink!) the set together and see concentration and complexity ramp up. Wines transparent of vintage and place – sound like great Burgundy, Barolo or Mosel? This serious and magnificent producer challenges many perceptions and norms of rosé.
