In the vineyard
Nestled along the seaside edges of La Croix Valmer, and perched on the Saint Tropez Peninsula,
there lie vines sprawled across sandy-schist slopes. Here, vineyard management is conducted with
a sustainable approach, meticulously aligning with the exceptional environment of the area,
ensuring the vines are as content and thriving as sunbathers in Saint Tropez.

Winemaking
Beginning with meticulous attention and craftsmanship, the winemaking process unfolds with the
gentle art of destemming, specifically for the unique and locally cherished 100% Rolle grapes.
These grapes then gracefully journey to the press. What follows is a ballet of fermentation,
conducted at subtly cool temperatures within the modern confines of stainless steel tanks. This
method adeptly encapsulates and safeguards the rich tapestry of aromas and flavors inherent to
the Rolle varietal, a testament to its regional uniqueness and charm.
