DOMAINE HOUCHART
COTES DE
PROVENCE ROSE 2019
A
self-described 'un-put-down-able' 90-point crowd-pleasing rosé wine that's
not only less than $18, but it's also been named a 'Top 100 Best Buy', in 2018
and 2019 in Wine Enthusiast.
A family-run
affair, Domaine Houchart is located at the foot of Mount St. Victoire
near Aix en Provence and part of the new, elevated appellation 'St.
Victoire'. Houchart Rosé is known for its out-of-this-world
freshness, and is a classic Provencal blend that's attractive, full and ripe,
bursting with berry and peach notes. The vineyard is now run by CEO Florence
Quiot, an inspirational woman in wine and the 13th generation of the legendary
winemaking family, along with her brother, head winemaker, Jean-Baptiste.
Regarding
the 2019 vintage, "The aging on lees suited the 2019 year superbly and
lengthened the mouth and finish" says Ms. Quiot. Cultivated from 222 acres of
clay and limestone, Houchart Rosé's special freshness comes from the unique
method of harvesting, where the grapes are immediately placed in gondolas
filled with CO2 gas and covered with thermal blankets, to exclude oxygen and
keep the grapes cool under the hot Provençal sun.
