AWARDS
Château La Mascaronne - Côtes-de-Provence
Located in Le Luc en Provence, the vineyard of La Mascaronne extends over 60 hectares of vines certified Agriculture Biologique since 2016, which allow the estate to produce wines that are crafted exclusively from grapes grown on-site. At an elevation of 300m, it enjoys a unique microclimate: at night, it is constantly cooler than on the shore. The vineyard’s orientation brings natural ventilation that favors the healthy development of its grapes. The amount of sunshine and rain and average temperatures are never excessive, providing ideal conditions for the vine to thrive. On this clay-limestone terroir, roots reach deep down into the soil, which protects the vine from extreme dryness. Irrigation is thus rendered unnecessary.
