At P’tit, we believe drinking well starts with choosing well. Here’s a handful of easy tips to help you pick the right bottle – whether you’re at a village market or planning a p’tit apéro under the stars.
Don’t (Always) Go by the Price – Expensive doesn’t always mean better. While price can reflect rarity or aging potential, many beautifully made wines are refreshingly accessible – like our own cuvées at P’tit Domaine. From our crisp rosé to our expressive red, we believe great wine starts in the vineyard, not in the price tag.
Know What to Drink Now, and What to Hold – Some wines are meant to age. Others, like our bright and lively P’tit rosé and sparkling rosé, are made for drinking fresh, when their aromas and energy are at their peak. Our P’tit Red, on the other hand, develops beautifully over a few years. Drinking a wine at the right moment makes all the difference, so always check if a bottle is for now, or for later.
Pay Attention to Vintages Based on the Region – The year on the label, the vintage, tells a story of sun, rain, and harvest. Here in the Luberon, our vines are shaped by altitude, limestone soils, and wild herbs, and every vintage brings its own nuance. At P’tit, we lean into that natural variation. When buying wine, especially in France, it’s worth checking how the vintage played out in the region.
Thinking About Food and Wine Pairing – A good pairing elevates both the wine and the food. Delicate dishes love the subtlety of our rosé. Bigger flavours – think grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses – are perfect with our P’tit Red. But don’t feel boxed in. Some reds pair beautifully with fish. Wine should be fun – so explore, taste, and trust your palate.
And when in doubt? Pop a bottle of our sparkling rosé. It’s festive, fresh, and goes with everything from appetizers to dessert.
Look Out For ‘Small Regions’ On Old World Wines – In places like France, the more specific the origin, the more it says about quality. Wines that name a region, village, or appellation – like our own from the Luberon – are bound by stricter standards and deeper traditions. At P’tit Domaine, our wines are certified organic and hold the AOP Luberon, made with care for the land and the people who drink them.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ORGANIC AND BIODYNAMIC WINE?
Great question – and one we love to answer at P’tit, since our wines are both organic and biodynamic.
Organic wine is made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. It’s about protecting the soil, the vine, and the surrounding ecosystem. At P’tit, all our wines are certified organic, meaning we meet rigorous EU standards from vineyard to bottle. Biodynamic goes a step further. It’s a holistic approach that treats the vineyard as a living organism, which takes into consideration all plants, insects and animals in its environment, whilst being guided by lunar and cosmic rhythms. We follow biodynamic principles to enhance the vitality of our soils and the health of our vines, creating a deeper connection between the land and the wine.
The result? Wines that are alive, expressive, and deeply rooted in the Luberon landscape – just like our P’tit red, rosé, and sparkling rosé.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF NOT HAVING ANY SULPHITES IN WINE?
At P’tit, our natural wines are made without added industrial sulphites – just grapes, wild yeasts, and a lot of care. While a small amount of sulphites occurs naturally during fermentation, many conventional vineyards use extra synthetic sulphites to stabilise and preserve their wine. By leaving those out, our wines stay alive in the glass – brighter, wilder, and closer to the vineyard they come from. It’s better for your body, and better for the body of the wine.
WHY IS P’TIT ALSO MAKING P’TIT CANS?
It’s part of P’tit’s sustainability philosophy. The P’tit cans are 100% recyclable and have a much smaller carbon footprint than glass bottles. P’tit cans can be enjoyed at picnics or when you just fancy a glass of wine, rather than opening a bottle.
