Family owned winery created in 1973 by Yves Lapierre and whose 60ha of vines are located on the stony slopes of Coudoux, near Aix-en-Provence. 

The vineyard benefits from ideal conditions; southern exposure, mediterranean microclimate, clay and limestone soils with lots of stones. Our main cultivated grape varieties are: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache Noir for red wines and rosé, Vermentino (called Rolle in Provence) Sauvignon blanc, Sémillon, Grenache blanc, Clairette, Viognier and Muscat for white wines. 

Since a few years now, benefiting from modern facilities and top equipment, we have been combining the pleasure of producing great wines of Provence while organizing numerous festive and musical events all year round. 

Belonging for more than 200 years to the Gasquet-Pascaud family, the Château de Pampelonne is located in the AOP Côtes de Provence area. The vineyard, along the magnificent beach of Pampelonne, enjoys mild temperatures all year round and exceptional sunshine. On an area of 50 hectares, our 80% sandy soils, combined with an important maritime influence, favor the concentration of the grapes at the time of ripening. We have a wide variety of grape varieties, some of which are more than a hundred years old and that we vinify in the 3 colors. Since the 2018 vintage, the Château de Pampelonne vineyard has been certified HVE (High Environmental Value). Fort de son diplôme d’œnologie et de ses nombreuses expériences professionnelles dans la vinification du vin à l’étranger (Chili, Afrique du Sud, Nouvelle-Zélande, Australie...) et au Château de Pampelonne avec son père, Marie Pascaud de Gasquet décide en 2014 de reprendre l’exploitation familiale.

Château Bonisson is located in the village of Rognes in the South East of France in the heart of the geographical denomination (AOP) "Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence". It all started in 1791 when the first vine plot was registered on this land. The Le Dorze family acquired Château Bonisson in 2017 with the objective of revitalizing the estate while respecting and representing their values: quality, authenticity, tradition and sharing. Respecting the environment is key for them: the vineyard has been restructured and improved keeping nature in mind. The vineyard is managed under the organic guidelines, in respect to the moon cycles in every step of the wine making process. The land is plowed by horses in order to respect the soil and avoid down turn. On top, harvest is completely done by hand hiring experienced grape pickers. All this to nurture the land and get the best grapes to ensure quality wines.

Located in the heart of green Provence, the Château Gasqui valley extends to the north of the last foothills of the Maures massif. At an altitude of 280m, it benefits from a privileged natural location: the clay-limestone terraces where the vineyard is located surround Lake Bonne Cougne, a geological sinkhole, hosting endemic flora and fauna of exceptional interest and classified as European natural heritage protected Natura 2000. 

The 25 hectares of vines are harvested by hand, the grapes are transported in twenty-kilo boxes to the underground cellar dating from 1898. We carry out gravity vatting to gently accompany the harvest.

The fermentation of the wines will take place thanks to the native yeasts present in the bloom of the grapes. We pay particular attention to the minimum use of sulfur. In logical continuity with our philosophy of terroir wines, our winemaking remains minimalist.

The rosé wines are blended from Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. Rosé juices are obtained by more or less long skin maceration.

Gasqui white wines are made from the Clairette, Sémillon, Rolle and Ugni blanc grape varieties. They are obtained by maceration of fresh juices or by direct pressing. Citius is aged in stainless steel vats while Tardius is aged in oak barrels.

Red wines are composed mainly Grenache and Syrah.

Gentle extraction of the material is

sought after during vatting.
