Description of the wine domain.
This is a place replete with history. The radiant wine tradition dates from Pytheas, in the 4th century BC. who exported this wine under the name Theopolis, to the famous Cours d'Amour in the 13th century.
The site where this vineyard is located has been recognized since the dawn of time as a “High Point”, that is, a place where transformation and transcendence phenomena could occur thanks to geological particularities (nature of the ground) , telluric (ground currents) allied with the nature of the air (exceptional ascending currents immediately above the vineyard).
The domaine produces AOC Baux de Provence wines, wines from the Alpilles and olive oil from the Valley of the Baux de Provence.
Since 1989 the wine has been produced by biodynamic culture.
