Hauvette estate – The Purest Expression of the Alpilles

An Iconic Estate at the Foot of the Alpilles

Located in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Domaine Hauvette is a benchmark for Provence wines. Founded in 1988 by Dominique Hauvette, this 17-hectare vineyard has been cultivated biodynamically since 2003. Through a deep respect for nature and meticulous winemaking, the estate produces elegant, complex, and age-worthy wines.

A Unique and Preserved Terroir

The vineyards of Domaine Hauvette thrive on clay-limestone and rocky soils, which provide excellent water regulation and thermal balance. This terroir, combined with a Mediterranean climate moderated by the mistral wind, ensures slow and balanced grape ripening. The estate’s emblematic grape varieties—Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Roussanne, and Marsanne—deliver a pure and mineral-driven expression of the Alpilles.

A Committed Biodynamic Approach

Dominique Hauvette follows biodynamic principles to maintain the natural balance of the vines and soils. No chemical treatments are used, soils are plowed, and natural preparations replace synthetic inputs. The winemaking process is minimally interventionist, relying on indigenous yeasts for fermentation and long aging in concrete vats or barrels, ensuring wines of depth and vibrancy.

Distinctive and Characterful Cuvées

Domaine Hauvette’s wines are renowned for their precision and aging potential. "Cornaline," an intense and structured red, reveals notes of dark fruits and spices. "Jaspe," an elegant and mineral white, captivates with its freshness and aromatic complexity. "Rosé Petra" stands out for its ample texture and long finish, far from the typical Provence rosé.

Domaine Hauvette, a Signature of Excellence

Sought after by collectors and featured on prestigious wine lists, the wines of Domaine Hauvette highlight the full potential of the Alpilles terroir. Through her dedication to sustainable viticulture and precise winemaking, Dominique Hauvette has become a key figure in Provence.
