Two generations working in the same direction and feeding off each other to always highlight the inexhaustible qualities of this little geological gem.
The estate covers 60 hectares within the Bandol AOC, comprising a number of plots with diverse geological characteristics. The majority of the production is located between the two massifs of Castellet, Cadière d'Azur, and the hillsides of Sainte Anne du Castellet.
This is where Bandol's flagship grape variety, Mourvèdre, expresses itself in all its richness. It brings structure and finesse to the rosé, and an aromatic palette of spices and licorice to the reds.
To balance this expression, it is accompanied by the traditional grape varieties of Provence, Cinsault, Grenache and Carignan.
The vineyard is mainly composed of old vines, but rigorous management of uprooting and renewal is ensured.
WE LOVE IT
Organic Agriculture certification, and the HVE level 3 label.
The estate has shifted towards agro-agriculture in recent years. The aim is to adapt the vineyard to climate change by combining trees and vines on the same plot. The trees help restore soil fertility, promote biodiversity, and the shade they provide helps lower temperatures within the plots. The embankments are kept vegetated. The large, flat stones found in our soil at the locality known as "Les Lauves" are used to build low walls and rockeries that support local wildlife. Protected areas for birds and pollinating insects are currently being studied. In this way, we are developing a biodiversity that we believe is essential to the balance of our agricultural production.
