Provence, a glass of light
The beauty of the Provençal landscape is unique. The unforgettable relief. Among the remarkable sites are the Sainte-Victoire mountain, the Sainte-Baume massif, the Maures mountains, and the Estérel volcanic massif. Two large geological formations coexist, one limestone in the western and northern parts of the vineyard and the other crystalline in the eastern part, facing the sea.
Between sea and mountains, bordering the Mediterranean and at the foot of the Alpilles, with its feet in the water and its head in the stars, this is how the Provençal vineyard is formed. The Mediterranean climate is perfect: sunny, dry, and warm. The vines enjoy around 2,800 hours of sunshine per year. Winds are frequent and an integral part of the region's climate. The strongest and best known is the Mistral. Particularly dry, it cools the vineyard, but above all cleanses it, protecting it from humidity-related diseases. Better known worldwide for its rosé wines, the region's white and red wines are catching up with the wine regions more famous for these colors.

Between Greek worship and architectural design
While the Greeks once introduced vine cultivation to the shores of the Mediterranean, Provençal wines still appear to be blessed by the gods. By Helios, of course, whose rays ensure the grapes reach perfect maturity and protect them from disease, but also by Hephaestus, who inspires builders to construct palaces dedicated to winemaking. Like their counterparts in Bordeaux, Provençal winegrowers are building new facilities that combine
modern architecture with new materials.
In Provence, winegrowers often build a new winery while preserving the old buildings, so as not to forget, to preserve the ancestral culture, to remember and to be able to tell their story.
A variety of territories
The Mediterranean, the Alps. Between these two wonders of nature lies a third, shaped by man: the vineyards of Provence. Its radiant, sun-drenched vines stretch for 200 kilometers across the departments of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, and part of Alpes-Maritimes. Under the southern sun, the landscape is breathtaking. When you set foot in the vineyards, there is a holiday atmosphere in the air. This is undoubtedly why the grapes are so beautiful and the wines so good.
