Powerful red wine from Provence: this expression sums up the promise of a generous, structured and elegant wine. And at the heart of this intensity lies a very special method: carbonic maceration.
A traditional method serving power
Indeed, carbonic maceration is an age-old technique that transforms the raw fruit into a unique wine. And it consists of fermenting whole grapes in a tank saturated with carbon dioxide. Thus, each berry retains its integrity and concentrates its aromas. Then, during fermentation, the colour deepens, the tannins become more assertive, and the flavours gain in depth. And the result is clear: a dense, expressive and characterful cuvée.
The role of maceration in our cuvées for a Powerful red wine from Provence
So, at Domaine des Oullières, we use this method to bring to life wines that embody our terroir. And our Au-delà and Absolu rouge cuvées are the finest examples of this approach. For Au-delà reveals a power that remains elegant, with an aromatic intensity that leaves a lasting impression.
Meanwhile, Absolu rouge shows the full strength of carbonic maceration. And it stands out as a powerful red wine from Provence, where density combines with great finesse. Thus, structure and freshness come together to offer a wine of character, worthy of the finest tables.
When power meets elegance for a powerful red wine from Provence
But strength alone is not enough to create a great wine. For a powerful wine must also charm through balance. And carbonic maceration makes this possible. Thus, fruity aromas express themselves with intensity, while keeping the freshness that makes tasting so enjoyable. Then, the long finish confirms this perfect harmony.
A signature of the Provençal terroir
Finally, this know-how takes on its full meaning thanks to our Provençal vineyards. For it is in this Mediterranean terroir, rich in contrasts, that the true identity of our wines comes alive. And each harvest, each gesture in the cellar, each technical choice shapes the final profile. Thus, carbonic maceration becomes a precious tool for revealing the personality of our cuvées.
In summary, power is never improvised. For it is born from a precise method and a deep respect for the fruit. And thanks to carbonic maceration, our Au-delà and Absolu rouge wines embody what Provence has most intense to offer: a powerful wine from Provence that unites tradition, terroir and excellence.
