Our Terroir
The Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire AOP
Shielded from maritime breezes by Mount Aurélien and the Sainte-Baume mountain ridge, the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire vineyard embodies the essence of an unspoiled terroir, nestled between the majestic Montagne Sainte-Victoire and the slopes of the upper Arc Valley. Here, nature has shaped a unique environment, providing the vines with a microclimate ideal for producing exceptional rosé wines, celebrated for their character and freshness.
Our ambition, revealing the essence of our wines and its authentic terroir.
Granted Complementary Geographical Appellation status to the AOC Côtes de Provence in 2005, the wines of this terroir draw their identity from three main sources. First, a meticulous selection of Syrah and Grenache grapes, celebrated for their excellence in rosé production, with their combined proportion making up at least 50% of the final blend. Next, a unique microclimate shaped by the mistral wind, where cool nights and mornings help preserve the natural acidity of the berries, resulting in wines of remarkable freshness. Finally, a controlled yield of 50 hectolitres per hectare, with an average of only 4,000 vines plants per hectare, ensures clusters rich in concentrated aromas. This delicate balance of grape varieties, climate, and yield management creates characterful wines that reflect the vitality of their terroir.
