About the wine

A spicy, elegant Rasteau from old vines, fermented in amphora and aged in cement. Gentle handling and limited sulphur keep the fruit clear; a good partner for game and other rich dishes.

About Domaine La Luminaille

Domaine La Luminaille is Julie Paolucci’s family estate in Rasteau, in the southern Rhône. After working as a sommelier in Paris, Julie returned in 2014 and made her first vintage in 2015, becoming the fifth generation on the farm and the first to vinify her own cuvées. The organically farmed vineyards share the landscape with woodland and olive trees. Hand harvesting and careful vineyard work underpin wines shaped by Rasteau’s clay, limestone and contrasting hillside sites.
