Presentation
Located in the heart of the Côte de Provence, Château Mouresse is an exceptional wine estate passionately managed by the Bouvet family. Acquired in 2008 by Christophe Bouvet, the estate was envisioned not only as a place of wine production, but also as a space where nature, family values, and viticultural expertise come together in harmony.
The property spans 100 hectares, including 45 hectares of vineyards cultivated using sustainable farming practices. This deliberate approach promotes soil vitality, plant diversity, and the long-term preservation of local wildlife each element contributing to a balanced and thriving ecosystem. Forests and green spaces surround the vineyards, forming a natural barrier that protects the vines throughout the seasons.
On these exceptional soils, emblematic grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet flourish, expressing refined aromas and remarkable depth. Each plot is carefully delineated, identified, and vinified separately to highlight its unique character before being blended to create wines that are rich, elegant, and harmonious.
The estate’s global approach to sustainability also includes energy self-sufficiency, thanks to a photovoltaic system installed on the winery. True to its philosophy, Château Mouresse embodies the belief that “wine is an art to be told” a reflection of authentic, environmentally conscious, and forward-thinking viticulture.
