Presentation
Yes, this dream land, this Luberon, we, the winemakers of Marrenon, will preserve and protect it. For us, for you, for our children and for our ancestors who designed it. These symbolic villages are marked by our art of living. This pure mountain, whose secret springs nourish a human landscape, is defined by the vines. We, the farmers, are forever the actors of this land and will remain its guardians.
Terroir

One of these parcels is typical from those terroirs situated on Southern Luberon high hills: very rocky soils, clayey and deep. The exposure favours earliness and a beautiful grape ripeness. The two other plots are situated on Northern Luberon sides at 300 m and 450m high on clayey and chalky soils.
In the vineyard
