Our vineyard is rich of traditional red variety, such as Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Counoise and also some white variety: Viognier, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, without forgetting the Grenache, native god red and white.

Grounds are worked in the respect of the nature, by regular ploughing without weedkiller and without chemical produce, using only phytosanitary treatment of sulfur and copper in a lower quantity.

The domain was certificated organic wine in 2010 but was working in this way since the vintage 2000. In this same philosophy, since few years, one part of the vineyard is working in biodynamic agriculture way, in the goal to swing on the totality of the vineyard.
