Les cartes en main
Nature
The pebble terroirs impart strength whilst the clay-limestone and sand soils impart finesse. The Mistral winds offer significant phytosanitary advantages. The climate and soils are well suited to the production of rich and fruity wines.The hand of man
The climate requires good balance between the varietals in order to retain freshness. The vines are primarily gobelet trained and yields are at 44 hL/ha. Sustainable viticulture, manual harvests and de-stemming.Character and potential
Organoleptic profile: exotic and citrus fruits are intertwined with apricot, white peach and a hint of spice and vanilla. Direct and seductive wines with a rich fruitiness.Notre ambition
