DESCRIPTION OF THE VINEYARD
This domain has acquired such fame that it is difficult to believe it was only recently founded. Pioneer in the revival of the Baux vineyards, this winemaker planted the first vines in the Alpilles in 1973.
A monumental task was undertaken to gain ground on scrubland.
Rocks were dynamited, soil tilled in depth and shards of rock mixed into the earth. It was in 1976 that the first vintage was produced.
This vineyard produces a red wine made from 50% Syrah and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and a white wine made from 45% Marsanne 45% Roussanne 8% Chardonnay 2% Grenache blanc.
The wines produced at the domain have been organic wines since the founding of the winery
