The sunny hills are dotted with the odd Aleppo pine, thickets of evergreen oak and scattered Kermes oak… This is the land of red-legged partridges, woodcocks, wild pigeons and thrashers, as well as hares, wild boar and deer.
At the heart of nature, between sun-drenched vines and forest, nestled in valleys, amongst the crops, at the foot of the Sainte Victoire mountain, there where sand meets marble, in the groves of white oak… A world of rare sensations awaits you.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the estate, explore the area on foot or by mountain-bike (rentals nearby), or simply kick back and play pétanque (boules)… all in a protected environment, where animals roam freely from season to season, sheep (in winter), hares, partridges and wild boar…

Terra Vitis is an association of wine-growers from across France who share the same philosophy of sustainable viticulture. Driven by environmental ethics, farmers and wine-growers from nine Mediterranean regions of France decided to join forces to put their beliefs into practice.
Respect for the environment, traceability, food safety, animal welfare, waste management: these are just a few of the issues covered by the “Conduite Raisonnée du Vignoble” charter on an integrated approach to wine-growing.
