A vineyard on the terraces
of around one hundred hectares, is spread over a hilly area of more than 850 hectares, including 10 hectares of olive trees, planted with thousands of oleanders and Mediterranean trees, and counting nearly 3,000 trees.
Culminating at an altitude of 300 meters, it benefits from the mildness of the Mediterranean, the proximity of which tempers the summer heat.
Cartography
From the soils produced on the estate in 2005, the grape varieties have been completely redone as a result, favoring local grape varieties: syrah, carignan, grenache, mourvèdre, cinsault, vermentino and roussanne.
The perfect match between grape varieties and soils, combined with rigorous plot selection, results in stylish, expressive wines with a strong personality.
