Importer’s Notes \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e“Pithounette” can be interpreted as “sweet little one” or “cutie pie”.2025 marks the inaugural cuvée of this sweet little micro-négociant project from the “Sulauze Gang,” aka Domaine de Sulauze’s vineyard employees. The “gang” has all banded together to combine their individual vineyard holdings into an exciting new range of organically farmed, approachable and affordable Provençal wines that are true of place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAccording to Guillaume and Karina Lefèvre,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Domaine de Sulauze is more than a vineyard. It’s a place that is alive and meant to be shared.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe domaine is located in Provence’s second largest appellation, Côteaux d'Aix en Provence. This is one of the most western parts of Provence, and one of the most historic — the vineyards date back to 600 BC and the wines from here were prized by the Royal Courts of Europe in the 15th century). It’s also one of the parts of Provence that is most marked by the famous Le Mistral, making it easier to farm organically and biodynamically, as the winds dry out the vineyards and naturally help prevent mildew. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eLocated just outside the town of Miramas, before getting into the truly wild and undeveloped Camargue region, the domaine is a mixed-use farm spanning 100ha, where Camargue horses, cows, and sheep roam free. 30ha is planted to vineyards, the majority of which are on limestone, quite unique for the region. These rarer limestone soils lend complexity and finesse to the wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eGuillaume and Karina share the domaine with a brewery (which grows a lot of their hops and wheat) as well as a pig farmer who specializes in a local variety of pig. The domaine is also of historic importance and has a medieval stone chapel (which the Chapelle Rouge and Blanc are named after because it is literally in the middle of the vineyard) and a medieval grain tower and mill. They also have a huge vegetable garden and host WOOF’ers throughout the year. Guillaume, Karina, and their partners at the brewery were able to get government funding to purchase the property and help restore and revitalize it due to the widely recognized historic importance of this site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Floraison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43935522881595,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/3006\/7810\/files\/Bazaart_2C7CE8CD-59C8-40ED-A9AE-00504F98D246.jpg?v=1786165092","url":"https:\/\/the-rose-wine-bar-bottleshop.myshopify.com\/products\/grenache-blend-2025-2025-domaine-de-sulauze-pitchounette-rose","provider":"The Rose Wine Bar + Bottleshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
