Presentation
Presentation
AOP Luberon is a mountain appellation that favours significant thermal amplitudes. Vines grow here at an altitude ranging from 200 m to 450 m. The terroir offers rich soils, with Miocene sands in the area around Aigues, rocky limestone at the foot of the mountain, and the red clay typical of the land surrounding Apt. The climate is a mix of Rhone influences but enjoys the cool temperature of the high Provence plateaux.
This wine is the result of a rigorous production method applied by some of our best partner vine-growers. Blending and maturing is ensured by our teams, mindful of constantly offering the very best of the appellation. 'Jas du Lauzon' is a Provençal word that refers to the old sheep barns made of dry stones that are found along the rivers in the south-east of France.
