Terroir

• A limestone amphitheatre within a single commune, encircled by Turonian cliffs (Cap Canaille, 416 m) and Cenomanian argillaceous-limestone formations. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Well-drained argillaceous-limestone soils, classified as rendzinas and shallow brown soils; vineyards sited between 10 and 150 metres in altitude.
• The closed amphitheatre topography shelters the vineyards from the Mistral to the north; maritime breezes temper summer heat extremes.

• The muscat variety was introduced around 1442 by King René d'Anjou, and extended around 1520 by the Albizzi, a Florentine family, with new plant material. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• Dry whites are round and generous, with floral, fruity, and balsamic aromas, an iodine character, and a saline freshness; natural partners for bouillabaisse and seafood.
• Small-production reds from old vines show notes of leather and undergrowth with a supple tannic structure; rosés offer red fruit and citrus aromas.
