An olive-grove since the time of the ancient Gauls, the plateau near Aix-en-Provence upon which Le Domaine des Masques rests was settled by the Knights Templar of the Order of Provence in the Middle Ages. Vines were first planted in 1992, and in 2003 the estate was bought by Carl and Sophie Mestdagh. The vineyards are tended according to organic principles, although the estate has not sought certification. With duties in the cellar overseen by the famous Rhône winemaker, Yves Cuilleron, the estate is in excellent hands, and producing exceptional wines.

Whole-berry fermentation followed by a delicate pressing gives this wine its classically delicate pink hue. Vinified anaerobically to prevent oxidation. Aromas of pink grapefruit, lime and strawberries, with passionfruit, peach and pear on the palate.

An excellent aperitif, but also a good pairing for seafood dishes.

The reductive (oxygen-free) winemaking allows for the bare minimum of sulphur to be used in this wine.
