Perched above the medieval village of Entrevaux, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the Domaine de Glandève stands as a testament to centuries of history. Once a bishopric, the estate now harmoniously blends its rich past with the art of natural winemaking.
On a recent day, under the Provençal sun, the estate unveiled its 2024 natural red wine cuvée. Guests gathered amidst the historic stone walls and verdant vineyards to celebrate this new vintage. The atmosphere was imbued with a sense of timelessness, as the wine-earthy, vibrant, and deeply rooted in tradition-was poured, echoing the enduring spirit of the land.
The 2024 cuvée is a reflection of the estate's commitment to natural winemaking. Crafted without sulfites or aromatic additives, the wine offers a frank and robust profile, rich in tannins, embodying the character of its terroir.
Domaine de Glandève's history is etched into its very foundations. The estate encompasses remnants of a Celtic-Ligurian site dating back to protohistory and a chapel built in 1753, now housing the wine cellars. This deep historical context enriches the experience of each bottle, connecting the present to a storied past.
As the sun set over the Var River, casting golden hues across the landscape, attendees of the unveiling were reminded of the profound connection between the land, its history, and the wines it produces. The 2024 cuvée stands not only as a testament to natural winemaking but also as a continuation of Domaine de Glandève's enduring legacy.
