It was during one of their many trips to the Var, their land of origin, that Claire and Denis fell under the charm of les Vallons de Fontfresque.
An enchanting landscape, old grapevines, loads of potential and their eternal spirit of entrepreneurship. The adventure was begging to happen.

"We were seduced by this abandoned vineyard. The challenge to revive it and give free rein to our passion for grapevines and wine led us to invest in the rebirth of this domain nestled in such beautiful valleys." says Claire.

Authenticity and return to roots

"My grandparents and great grandparents were winemakers.
I grew up in the middle of grapevines, observing the old vines and leaves of such a delicate green has always been a delight.

My passion for our vineyard naturally found its source in all those years of sun drenched childhood amongst clusters of grapes and it is with intense pleasure that we raise our wines in our cellar which we have fully restored while retaining its authentic character."

With our heart and soul

An abandoned vineyard is like a living being left to die. The rebirth of our domain brings us ever growing energy. Its vineyards, the grapes slowly ripening under the hot sun of Provence as they have for thousands of years, the gentle slopes of these valleys through which blows a fresh light wind. Can there be anything better than this little paradise placed gently on the foothills of the majestic and eternal Sainte Baume.

To put heart and soul into the making of Provence wines is a passion and an honor for winemakers such as we. Taking the time to patiently create wine which we know has been made here for several thousand years is a unique adventure that must be lived to be understood. Making wine was one of the first actions of the first intelligent beings. To perpetuate this tradition brings us closer to our origins and the secret of life itself!
