Domaine des Diables is owned by Guillaume & Virginie Philip - well-known
from MIP. This 30-hectare wine estate is located at the foot of the Sainte
Victoire mountain in the Provençal municipality of Puyloubier. The soil around the estate
consists of clay, loam and sand, an ideal composition for the production of
refined, balanced wines. Viginie and Guillaume have cultivated the vineyards sustainably
from the start. The plots are permanently influenced by
twelve different winds - including the Mistral. These winds, in combination
with the warm, dry climate, prevent the development of almost all
fungal diseases and the use of pesticides is therefore hardly
necessary. The environmentally friendly approach and the use of the most modern
vinification techniques produce wonderfully pure wines. Their rosés in particular
are incredibly popular.
CLIMATE & TERROIR: Continental, with warm summers and cold
winters. The grapes come for 70% from one of the oldest
plots in the valley, where the grapes have been
planted since 1914.
VINIFICATION: After a short maceration on the skins, the grapes are pressed
and the juice ferments in cooled stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for six months
on the yeast cells.
GRAPES: Cinsault (50%), Syrah (30%), Grenache (20%)
ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE: 13.00%
NOISE & TASTE: Pale pink colour with a fine palette of juicy
peach, red fruit and light minerality. Seductive with a
silky finish.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Ideal with Provencal cuisine: salad
Niçoise, bouillabaisse or pasta pesto.
FACT: The estate's environmentally friendly approach, the character of the wines: fruity, elegantly spicy, floral and pure, and the modern look make this one of the most successful Provence rosés.
