Piéblanc is different from many others: it has no tradition yet, but a lot of potential. In 2014 the winery was founded in the heights of the hills overlooking Mont Ventoux, and the first vintage was pressed. Since then, winemaker Matthieu Ponson has pressed the best drops from his fruits, working in harmony with the nature of his vineyards, the grape varieties, soils and mosaic of sites. Certified organic in 2020, Matthieu produces very distinctive wines showing provenance and taste.

Coccinelle: the rosé that’s as charming as the ladybugs it’s named after. This organic gem is what happens when nature and winemaking get together for a perfect picnic.

Think light red fruits, peaches, and a zesty twist, wrapped up in a bottle that’s here to make you smile.
Terroir
The Coccinelle vineyard is located at an altitude of 300 meters, planted on tree-lined terraced plots. The soil, composed of limestone and sandy clay, ensures excellent drainage while preserving the freshness necessary for optimal grape ripening. This terroir benefits from a cool microclimate, alternating sun and shade, and the presence of aromatic plants, all contributing to the production of balanced and refreshing wines
Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested in 15 kg crates to preserve their quality. After a night in a cold room, meticulous manual sorting is carried out. The press is filled by gravity, followed by direct pressing. The wine is settled after 24 hours and then aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks, preserving its freshness and aromatic purity.
