Owned by the Swedish Kamprad family (founders of the multinational retail company IKEA), La Navicelle is tucked into the side of the “Colle Noire” massive and neighbors to Clos Cibonne, overlooking the sea near Toulon. This 21-hectare estate produces wines that showcase the stunning terroir its vines are rooted in - with northern exposure and thus later ripening vineyards, resulting in greater acid retention and increased complexity in the mature grapes.
