At night, cool air slips down from the Alps into the valley, and by day the Mistral keeps the skies above the vines clear: Provence may be a Mediterranean wine region, yet its finest vineyard sites lie at altitudes where the grapes ripen slowly and retain their freshness. Mourv\u00e8dre, Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah grow on limestone, marl and sand, alongside white wines from Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc and Roussanne. Our Provence wines come from Ch\u00e2teau de Pibarnon, the benchmark estate in Bandol with velvety Mourv\u00e8dre on blue Triassic marl; from Revelette, where Peter Fischer works biodynamically at 400 metres above sea level; and from Al\u00f4ne, which crafts natural wines on a former sand quarry in the Sainte-Baume nature park.<\/p>\n\n
