Presentation

It is in Puyloubier, located in the heart of the Côtes de Provence appellation, that in 1924, a few winemakers concerned with pooling their production resources created the Mont Sainte-Victoire Winemakers' cellar. Over the decades, the cooperative has evolved while preserving its traditions and expertise. Today, it embodies a model of cooperation that is over 100 years old, committed to producing quality wines while respecting its terroir.

Extra

The vineyard, bathed in full southern exposure on the foothills of Mount Sainte-Victoire, benefits from a very favorable microclimate. It is on this viticultural terroir of tradition that the winery works towards high-quality production. The Vignerons Mont Sainte Victoire winery brings together 80 winemakers and their families in a collaborative organization. Located on the southern foothills of Mount Sainte-Victoire, the vineyard enjoys exceptional sunshine. With its 700 hectares, the Vignerons du Mont Sainte-Victoire are among the main producers of the Côtes de Provence appellation, producing more than 5 million bottles each year.

Original and unusual

Six centuries ago, King René, an emblematic figure of Provençal history, said that he did not want to drink "any other wine than the rosé of Puyloubier." A preference undoubtedly linked to a quality terroir that today’s winegrowers still make good use of. The cellar also vinifies the grapes from the Capitaine Danjou estate, owned by the Foreign Legion. This vineyard of 40 hectares in Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire is cultivated by former legionnaires. Every year, its 2,000 hectoliters help to boost the morale of the troops in the Legion's bases around the world.
