The Estate: Spread over 40 hectares, of which 18 AOC Bandol, on terraces and slopes towards the foothills of the Sainte Baume, the field has grown from the six generations of ancestors were able to gather all the plots around the cellar. The vineyard is planted with Mourvedre, old Grenache, very little Cinsault, Clairette and Ugni Blanc, rooted vines on clayey limestone. The vineyard enjoys the climate of the Mediterranean sea breezes that come clean and protect them from disease. In the vineyards, tillage is part of the traditional culture. The harvest is manual and performance limited to 35 hl per hectare for the pink and white and 30 hl per hectare for red. For 50 years, half a century, Richard Prebost never stops to ensure improved winemaking. So he opted for the stainless steel on the set of equipment: crusher stemmer for the tanks, through the pneumatic presses and control of fermentation temperatures for each batch. Before pressing, the new harvest is cooled to between 10 ° and 12 °, resulting in a very low temperature maceration. The wines are aged in the cellar 7 m underground in new oak casks of 50 hl for red.
