OUR MISSION: ORGANIC VITICULTURE IN THE ALPILLES
UNIQUE WINES ARE CREATED THROUGH UNIQUE PRODUCTION METHODS, AS ORGANIC CULTIVATION IS OUR HIGHEST STANDARD.
That is why we bring more than just our five senses to the vineyards and the winemaking process in the cellar. We rely on balance and intuition to refine our wines and shape them into what they truly are: distinctive taste experiences from enchanting Provence.
“IN KEEPING WITH THE FRENCH ART OF LIVING OUR WINES ARE DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR REFINEMENT AND SUBTLE ELEGANCE.”
IN OUR VINEYARDS WE WORK ORGANICALLY, AND ONE STEP BEYOND.
In our vineyards, we focus on sustainable cultivation. For us, organic farming is the foundation. No synthetic pesticides, no herbicides, and we consciously take our cultivation practices a step further.
That’s why we use horses and goats for soil cultivation. Plowing with horses loosens the soil without compacting it under the heavy weight of large machines. At the same time, sheep graze among our vines and feed on wild herbs.
