Domaine de Saint-Ser
The Domaine de Saint-Ser has the rare privilege of being entirely located in the “Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire” area. It covers 33 hectares that enjoy ideal geological and climatic conditions.
The vineyard, which grows on a hillside, benefits from extraordinary sunlight thanks to its southern exposure and, in particular, the reverberation of the light off the white rocks of the mountainside.
This luminosity favors photosynthesis, which increases the concentration of the grape clusters. In addition, Sainte-Victoire’s shape makes it possible for the vineyard to escape the summer storms that hit its northern face and unfurl on the neighboring towns.
The argilo-calcareous, rocky and poor soil favors the production of quality grapes and gives the wines their natural suppleness.
The Mistral, a north wind, is an integral part of life in Provence. It goes around Sainte-Victoire, drying the vines after the rains, purifying the vineyard and contributing to the growth of the grapes.
Le Domaine de Saint Ser est situé sur les flancs de la Montagne Sainte Victoire à 400m d'altitude Entièrement situé dans l'aire géographique de l'AOC Côtes de provence Sainte Victoire il produit de ce fait des vins racés d'une grande intensité aromatique
Un jardin des cépages a été complanté permettant de découvrir 19 cépages méditerranéens
Château Pontet Bagatelle
History & Location of Château Pontet Bagatelle
The wine business of Château Pontet Bagatelle was acquired by the current owners, Garry and Sabine Stephen when the Chateau was bought in December 2006 as a family home. Garry has been a wine lover for many years and harboured a dream of one day making wine. The dream became a reality when his wife, Sabine, who is half French, suggested that the family should move to France and promptly found a wonderful Chateau complete with a boutique wine business. The temptation was far too great to refuse and we have now set about the wine making task with real passion – our first Rose in 2007 winning a gold medal.
Pontet Bagatelle began its life as a small chapel in the 13th Century. It was constructed with vaulted ceilings and columns of Rogne stone, a beautiful soft yellow stone that is local to the area. It was not until 1993 that Pontet Bagatelle was restored and vinification began.
Pontet Bagatelle is located in Provence in the South of France in the appellation Coteaux d’Aix en Provence. Situated on Route de Pelissanne, it is just outside the village of Lambesc. It is 20 minutes drive from Aix en Provence and half an hour from Marseille airport.
