REGION: Provence

The Château du Seuil sits on the Puyricard plateau at an altitude of 350-450 meters, the highest site in Aix-en-Provence. The terroir here is incredibly complex: clay, chalk, and rocks, with layers of iron-laden calcaire, and big galet, making rosés with incredible precision and saline minerality.

The vineyards are cultivated in as natural a manner as possible with reliance on organic methods. The wines are not destemmed; élevage in large oak foudres can last as long as four years; vines of less than 25 years of age are not used for the reds.

Domaine du Bagnol sits just beneath the imposing limestone outcropping of Cap Canaille and is a mere 200 meters distance from the shores of the Mediterranean. Thus situated, this Domaine is the beneficiary of the cooling winds from the north, northwest, & northeast, as well as gentle sea breezes.

La Bernarde sits on a rocky limestone hillside in the Côtes de Provence at about 300 meters, making it one of the highest altitude properties in the region. The cool climate allows them to make a lineup of organic beauties that are honest and delicious expressions of this gorgeous terroir.
