Nestled at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire Moutain in Provence, La Grande Bauquière stretches over 80 hectares, with a breathtaking view on the rocky outcrop that inspired Cézanne and Van Gogh. Led by Dorothée Salat since 2019, they mix tradition with innovation to make wines that might just make Bacchus jealous. With limestone-rich soils, Mediterranean sunshine, and eco-friendly practices, they balance biodiversity with precision viticulture.
Présentation
Présentation
L'Inattendu is a plot twist in a glass. Crafted entirely from Vermentino, it’s like Provence put on its finest white floral perfume and a zesty citrus tie. With every sip, it whispers, “Didn’t see that coming, did you?” Perfect for those who love their wines full of surprises and a touch of elegance—unexpected, yet utterly delightful.
Terroir
The vines flourish on deep soils composed of limestone, clay-rich sandstone, and ancient alluvial deposits enriched with pebbles, creating the perfect foundation for exceptional wines. The region’s microclimate preserves the grapes’ aromas with cool nighttime harvests, enhancing varietal purity. A geological mosaic and sustainable practices amplify the terroir’s unique expression.
Vinification
Each stage of the winemaking process reflects precision and care. The juice is extracted and protected from oxidation through inert pressing. Following a meticulous selection, cold settling occurs over 48 hours. Each varietal is fermented separately at 17°C, avoiding malolactic fermentation. Aging on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for four months adds complexity and texture.
