Notes on the Producer

The domain A dreamer's story In 2014, I settled in Pourrières, at the foot of the Sainte Victoire mountain, taking over the family land and creating Le Temps des Rêveurs, a 7-hectare organic vineyard. The old Carignan Noir and Ugni Blanc vines planted by my grandfathers were replaced by my father's Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. I then planted massal selections of Grenache Noir and Gris, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Carignan Blanc and Gris, and Maccabeu. From the very beginning of this adventure, I have oriented my vineyard towards biodynamic agriculture, attuned to the vines and the environment, using precious traditional and modern techniques. My goal is to produce a natural wine, conceived from a living terroir, respectful of the health of its consumers, and to share a little of my utopian vision as a farmer. "It's up to you to taste! Close to your emotions, tasting doesn't need fancy words; tasting a wine is above all about being receptive to what you feel."
