Technique

Viticulture

The estate's signature cuvée combines the discreet power of Bandol with the elegance and finesse characteristic of Tempier. Its complexity comes from the blend of the estate's different terroirs and the variety of its clay-limestone soils, ranging from sandy limestone marl (165 to 90 million years old) to Triassic (200 million years old). Average age of vines: 35-40 years

Oenology

Grapes sorted in the vineyard and in the cellar; destemmed, crushed and placed in the cellar for 3 to 4 weeks of fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Aged in casks for at least 18 months before bottling.
