Navicelle (Domaine de la)
Le domaine de la Navicelle se trouve en plein cœur de la Provence sur le versant nord d’un massif appelé la Colle Noire, en bordure du conservatoire du littoral. Les vignes sont en restanque sur des sols d’argile lourde et un sous-sol rocailleux de calcaire, de grès et de schistes. L’orientation nord et la proximité de la Colle Noire protège les vignes de la chaleur et permet, sans avoir recourt à l’irrigation, d’obtenir des vins complexes avec une complexité, une salinité et une identité propres à ce terroir d’exception. En totalité à ce jour, le vigneron Romain Magnanou exploite 20ha de vignes quasiment d’un seul tenant.
Différents cépages sont travaillés : Rolle, Clairette et Muscat pour les blancs ; Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tibouren et Cinsault pour les rosés et les rouges.
Pour exploiter au mieux ce terroir exceptionnel, le domaine est cultivé en agriculture biologique (certification bio en 2014). La vendange est 100 % manuelle sur l’ensemble du domaine avec un tri drastique à la vigne.
Romain et Camille s’inspirent largement des principes de la viticulture biodynamique qui vise à réhabiliter, dynamiser et intensifier la vie organique des sols. Aucun désherbant chimique ou insecticide n’est utilisé.
What does the name organize mean?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
