Our vineyards cover an area of 35 hectares on the hill
sides of the Alpilles at Eygalières, (15 km from Les Baux de Provence) . Here we grow 6 different wine varieties:

  • Grenache
  • Cabernet
  • Sauvignon
  • Syrah,
  • Cinsault
  • Carignan
  • Merlot

The property is set in a region with soil rich in limestone and with a hot, sunny Mediterranean climate. Here the wine gathers its force from the rocky terrain which lends its characteristics to our production. The different wine varieties are harvested separately with an average annual yield of 40 hectolitres per hectare and is still produced following traditional practices.

After production the wine is left to age in Les Baux de Provence at the magnificent site of the Caves de Sarragan, an immense and cool, underground “ cathedral, where the constant temperature and humidity allow the wines to preserve their character to the utmost.

The red wines, aged in oak barrels, reveal the natural characteristics of the local wine varieties, they are long on the palate, with a very sustained balance, perfect as an accompaniment to roast meat dishes and rich sauces.

The rosé wines are produced through bleeding the vat, a technique where the wine is naturally extracted from the top part of the barrel yielding a natural and pure wine. The near full-bodied, mature rosés, which are best drunk chilled, preserve their vigour and fresh taste on the palate and are ideal with summer barbecues.
