Domaine Hauvette Baux de Provence Cornaline 2018 750ml

Domaine Hauvette Baux de Provence Cornaline 2018 is a distinctive red wine from the sun-drenched landscape of Provence in southern France. Crafted by Dominique Hauvette, this expressive cuvée blends Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, combining Mediterranean fruit character with savoury depth and refined structure. The grapes are grown on clay-limestone soils in the Alpilles, where the terroir contributes freshness and mineral complexity. Produced using a low-intervention approach and matured in large oak vessels or concrete eggs, depending on the winemaking details for the vintage, Cornaline offers concentrated dark-fruit flavours, aromatic herbs, and a persistent, savoury finish.
