The Story

This cuvée is primarily a blend of Vermentino and Grenache Blanc, made from southwest-facing parcels on sandy soils. It contains seven different white varietals (also: Clairette, Ugni Blanc, Rousanne, Marsanne, and Viognier), undergoes a natural fermentation, and is then aged on the fine lees in mostly concrete. A small portion is aged in older oak barrels for 9 months before being bottled.

About Bastide du Claux

Brand Story

Bastide du Claux was born in 2002 and is located in the gorgeous hills of western Provence, in the heart of the Luberon National Park. Bastide du Claux was founded by Sylvain Morey, the son of Jean-Marc Morey, long-adored vigneron in Chassagne-Montrachet. Sylvain works a diverse group of parcels totaling 17 ha, planted to 14 different varietals scattered throughout the region. The vineyards of the Luberon are relatively high, at 400-450m above sea level, and benefit from cooler temperatures compared with other parts of Provence and the Southern Rhone. This unique climate makes the Luberon an excellent location for producing racy and exciting white wines as well as reds that retain a freshness and bite.
