• The Domain
In a Mediterranean climate with dry and hot summers, the vineyard is located in the middle of the “golden triangle” of Côtes de Provence, a region limited by the three municipalities of Cuers, Pierrefeu and Puget- Ville in the Provence-Alpes-Côtes d’Azur region – France. Temperatures are above the national average and forecasts are reduced. A sea breeze that rises from the sea each afternoon through the Sauvebonne valley helps to clean up the vineyard. The colluvial soils from the surrounding reliefs are clay-limestone, deep and benefiting from good drainage and underground water reserves allowing the grapes to withstand harsh
summers.

• Plot selection
The vines are planted at an average density of 3600 vines per hectare.
The methods of caring for the vine limit the yields to a maximum of 55hl / ha. The harvest is carried out mainly by machine at the coolest hours of the day in order to preserve the berries.
