Don't get us wrong...We love our Provence Rosé, but there is so much more to explore in this gorgeous region than just the wines that are pretty in pink.

We're featuring wine from Domaine d'Eole which is situated in the center of the Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence appellation, in the town of Eygalières. The winery has been certified organic by EcoCert since the late 1990’s, making them a pioneer in organic certification in France.

Wine director, Elizabeth Parker, chose Domaine d'Eole because of their deep respect for this unique land. Alll the vitification is done without pesticides, which allows the organic products to conserve their strong & natural identity specific to the area.

We'll be pouring younger & aged whites, rosés & reds to experience the freshness of the current releases vs. the complexity of older vintages.

Executive Chef Brendan L'Etoile will be serving a selection of food pairings to accompany the wine tasting of Provençal-inspired cuisine.

About Domaine d'Eole
 
Matthias Wimmer & Christian Raimont have combined their passion & expertise since 1996 to produce unique & exceptional wines.

Here, the sun, the powerful Mistral winds, & the pure & wild land represent the perfect conditions to grow vines with strong character. The arid climate & the power of the elements push the grapes to concentrate in order to profit from their environment. The rugged land forces the vines to work harder creating wine with deep & complex flavor profiles.
