The combination of two very different plots, giving Chardonnay opposite personalities: opulent, fat and rich in Pertuis; lively, lemony and fresh at altitude in Cabrières.

La Rougetière is not the most photogenic of the Domaine’s plots. Located at the entrance to the village of Cabrières, its main asset is a predominantly clay soil at an altitude of almost 400 meters. This ensures that the Chardonnay grapes ripen slowly, perfectly complementing the earlier, more powerful wines from Pertuis.

The blending of the resulting wines gives an image of the grape variety a world away from some of its southern counterparts, emphasizing overall balance rather than intensity and power.

Grapes are harvested manually and enjoy a long maturation in demi-muids.
