Literally plunging into the Mediterranean sea, the hills of "la Côte
Vermeille" are without a doubt, a spectacular site.
Shaped by the forces of nature, the vineyards terraces are often clinging to very steep hills.
Miles of dry shist stone retaining walls hold a poor and shallow soil where an ingenius canal system "PEUS DE GALL" flushes the rare but violent rain storm waters.
The exposed boulders often support the weaker stocks resulting in a wine production as low as 528 Gallons per Hectare (2.47 acres). |

Because of the exceptional sun exposure, the grapes are engorged with sugar and rich with aroma.
