VINEYARD
The vineyard covers the municipalities of Camaret-sur-Aigues, Jonquières, and Travaillan Violès. From old vines over 45 years on average. Our vines are in the municipalities of Camaret-sur-Aygues and Travaillan. Our plots are not morcellées we have three plots, one of five hectares, a three and a half hectares, and one and a half hectares. These are generally old vines with low yields, which makes a very good concentration in the bay and a high quality grape. It is a land of scrubland, where the Mistral blows abundantly, which optimizes the grape ripening.
