MARRENON, Les Essentiels, Les Belles Echappées, Les Villages Perchés, Luberon 2022

Iconic of the landscapes of the Luberon Regional Park, the villages have developed around medieval castles. 'Perched' on the heights, one could see the enemy coming and make their task quite difficult. Testament to the rich history of the Luberon, the villages are evolving today by blending preservation of architectural and landscape heritage with development.

Presentation

The 'Les Belles Echappées' range reveals other expressions by exploring not only our historical appellations but also other terroirs with character.

On the palate
