In order to keep to local farming practice, the choice of vine naturally led to those noble varietieswhich had the "Provençal fibre"!
Mourvèdre, The main variety, Mourvèdre, makes up 97% of the Domaine's red wine grapes : this grape likes the heat and needs water. It provides a taste of resin, pine and garrigue. The other 3% is Syrah, for its dash of saltiness.
Rolle, The main variety for the Courtade white wines is Rolle, at 95% : fragile and diaphanous, capricious yet superb, it exudes exotic flavours of citrus fruits and bitter almonds.
