In Puyloubier, twenty kilometers east of Aix-en-Provence, at the foot of the Montagne Sainte Victoire, Michel Fabre founded Domaine Sainte Lucie in 1978. The vines of Sainte Lucie, which are on average thirty-five years old, stand on a thin layer of calcareous sand and red clay soil full of stones. Actually only a soil suitable for wine grapes. This mainly concerns the red varieties grenache and syrah, supplemented with some cabernet sauvignon, mourvèdre and of course carignan and cinsault.
For the white MIP Classic, carefully picked Vermentino (called Rolle in France) from poor clay-rich vineyards with young vines, is left as whole grapes for a day and then soaked for three weeks after pressing and fermented in refrigerated tanks. The juice then rests on its yeast sediment for another 3-4 months to develop an even more beautiful fruitiness. Beautiful light-green reflections that belong to a beautiful young wine and with time it takes on a golden yellow color. Delicious as an aperitif or with grilled langoustines. Soft, young fresh cheeses are also a delicious combination.
Because the grapes on the domain enjoy optimal planting in relation to the sun, they can reach full and ripe maturity in good health. In humid weather, the gentle mountain winds - of which the Mistral is perhaps the best known - ensure that mold and rot do not get a hold on the trusses. It makes organic farming at Domaine Sainte Lucie an easy challenge. The nature-friendly approach on the domain naturally also has an impact on the wines of Sainte Lucie. They are fruity, elegantly spicy, floral and pure. Add to that the modern bottle versions and the rosés of Domaine Sainte Lucie can be counted among the most seductive Provence wines for every occasion and every moment of use
