The production of Barbebelle Rosé is truly remarkable, embracing sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The vineyard is undergoing biological conversion and has achieved High Environmental Value certification. The grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness, followed by careful sorting and pressing. The wine undergoes direct pressing, fermentation, and aging in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, ensuring that each bottle captures the essence of the vineyard's commitment to quality and sustainability.

Producer

At 16 kms of Aix-en-Provence, on the road to the Luberon, the Coteaux d’Aix en Provence vineyard occupies 50 hectares in a single estate of 300 hectares. It is in the heart of a protected wildlife, between cypress trees, pines and holm oaks, that vines draw all their wealth to give quality wines. The grape varieties of the appellation (grenache, syrah, cabernet-sauvignon, cinsault, vermentino, sauvignon …) are settled on a homogeneous territory of clayey-limestone slopes on a hilly relief, favorable to viticulture, very representative of Provence  » Our vineyards in Coteaux enjoy an excellent sunshine. Nevertheless, they do not suffer too much from the heat. Clay and limestone soils retain moisture. The rugged relief ensures good ventilation and the average altitude of the vineyard – 370 meters – gives us fresh nights even in summer. Finally, the mistral de Provence naturally cleanses the grapes. This brings a little respite to our plants which ripen with more regularity. In addition, the field practices respect for the environment and for quality a reasoned agriculture validated by the label. Treatments are minimized and weed control is mechanical.
