Our Review of the Cuvée
Domaine De La Mongestine
Perched on the hills above Jouques, north of the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, the Domaine de la Mongestine—founded in 2017—offers a surprising take on Provence. Across 120 hectares cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods, Maxime Gamard takes advantage of the high-altitude plateau to produce wines of unexpected freshness: far from the sunny, heady rosés, here the wide temperature swings shape crisp, precise, and resolutely natural whites and reds.
The estate has become a benchmark for natural wines in the region—and has even sparked an unexpected legal dispute: DJ Bob Sinclar sued the estate over a wine named “Bob Singlar,” a name chosen to deliberately create a phonetic confusion. Anecdotes aside, Mongestine’s wines stand out for their distinct identity and stylistic consistency.
