DESCRIPTION OF THE VINEYARD

This is a vineyard that is steeped in history. The great tradition of wine has traveled through the ages from Phytheas in the fourth century BC, when the wine from this vineyard was known as Théopolis, to the famous Coursd'Amour in the thirteenth century.

The site of this vineyard has been recognized since ancient times as a 'Haut-Lieu' or 'high place where phenomena of transformation and transcendence take place thanks to geological features (the type of soil), terrestrial features (currents) allied to the nature of the air (exceptional upward movements over the vineyard).

The domainproduces AOC Baux de Provence wines, Alpilles vin de pays and Baux de Provence Valley olive oil.

Since 1989, their wine has been developed using the biodynamic method.

 THE ECO-FRIENDLY GESTURES OF THE VINEYARD

Biodynamic method: no chemical products, insecticides or pesticides.

The vines benefit from a unique treatment which takes into account the nature of the soil, as well as Cosmo-telluric influences. This method, which is as old as time, is holistic because it integrates different normal parameters such as exposition and types of vines but also the lunar cycle.
