The cuvée “Luminaris” combines 60% Clairette, 30% Marsanne, and 10% Bourbelenc grown at 330 meters in altitude. Julie co-ferments Clairette and Bourbelenc in stainless- steel and Marsanne with Bourbelenc in an old 500L foudre. The different wines are assembled and then aged in tank for 6 months.

Domaine La Luminaille is located in the “quartier” of Rasteau called “la lumière”. The name comes from the bright glow of the olive tree’s leaves under a full moon. Julie Paolucci is the fifth generation of her family to farm in the quartier of “la lumière”, and it was her father, Jean-Claude, who really developed the family’s vineyards. Today, Julie’s property includes 12 hectares of vines and 3 hectares of olive trees. She returned to the family property in 2014 after working as a sommelier in Paris. Soon after taking over, Julie gained organic certification and she has continued to develop a personal style of winemaking to create unmanipulated and elegant wines.
