ESTATE HISTORY

The village of Roquebrun and its wine growers welcome you to the country of wines. The vines have optimum exposure to the sun in a village framed by mountains protecting from behind and with the Orb River flowing through and softening the climate.

TERROIR

The vineyards are spread over an atea of 650 ha of south facing, schistose hillsides.
Surface: 50 Hectares
Soil: Schist

VITICULTURE

Sustainable farming. Rigorous specifications regulate pruning methods, trellising, phytosanitary treatments and yields.
A large part of the vineyard is irrigated by drip in regulated periods following water readings, which makes it possible to control the evolution of the plant and to respect its evolution.

WINEMAKING

Classical vinification.
Mourvèdre varieties, short carbonic maceration for Syrah and Carignan.
Hand harvest at optimal ripness, and carefully selected.
Aged in vats.
