Upon her arrival in the Alpilles at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Dominique Hauvette gave her name to the estate. In 1988, advised by Eloi Dürrbach of the domaine de Trevallon, she carried out her first harvest on just 2 ha of the estate's vines. From the very beginning, she produced wines she wanted to be of quality and worthy of cellaring. 30 years after settling there, the winemaker still follows her instincts, working in biodynamics and vinifying without added sulfur, in cement amphorae for the red wines, across what are now nearly 17 ha of vineyard at domaine Hauvette, perfectly maintained and situated on clay-limestone soils.
An outstanding winemaker, Dominique Hauvette fully respects the authenticity of her terroirs to produce magnificent Provence red wines, crafting refined and intense cuvées such as the Cornaline cuvée (grenache, syrah, cabernet-sauvignon) or the Améthyste cuvée (predominantly cinsault, complemented by carignan and grenache), with delicate aromas of exceptional finesse. On the red side, the Roucas cuvée is the most approachable, with aromas of red fruit jam and a fresh, mentholated finish. The colorful and vinous Provence rosé Petra truly brings us closer to the taste of the terroir. White wine production is more limited at Hauvette, but these great Provence white wines are full-bodied on the palate with noble bitterness: true gastronomic wines. The energetic Jaspe cuvée from Domaine Hauvette, made from pure Roussanne, is all discretion and nuance, with subtle floral and anise notes. The Dolia cuvée (Clairette, Marsanne, Roussanne) is aged in a concrete egg and delivers a superb texture, accompanied by a saline finish and a delicate, lingering bitterness. Such white wines are particularly well-suited to a region like Provence. In keeping with Dominique Hauvette's wishes, her wines age beautifully and gracefully; one need only taste them in great vintages such as 2001 and 1998 to be convinced. It is at the age of fifteen years that these wines have the most to tell us and truly reveal the full extent of Dominique Hauvette's winemaking talent. If you are fortunate enough to come across some of these older vintages, do not hesitate to treat yourself — you will not be disappointed.
