Saint Remy de Provence, France

Imagine a soft slope at the foot of the Alpilles where the Mistral wind blows, between Avignon and the Rhone Valley… this is the Domaine Des Terres Blanches, located in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where next to the vineyards Thyme, rosemary and lavender grow. Founded in 1968 by Noel Michelin returning from his work experiences in Indochina and Cameroon. It was precisely upon his return to France that he decided, after seeing a disproportionate use of pesticides and herbicides, to use only natural and eco-sustainable methods to cultivate his vineyards.
At the time, well before the advent of the “Bio” movement, Bordeaux mixture, seaweed and plant essences were used to combat vine diseases. During the winter, cereals and legumes were planted between the rows which allowed the soil to be naturally enriched. All this continues today with the new ownership which since 2012 has brought an Alsatian family to continue the tradition of this area of ​​France.

The location of the Domaine des Terres Blanches is among the best, the Mistral prevents frosts and fungal attacks. In addition to this, the
The area enjoys over 2900 hours of light per year and low rainfall. The soil on which the vines grow is varied with areas rich in clay, limestone, silica, shale and in some places even red clay. During the winter the clods of soil are turned over to avoid excessive compaction and to give greater ventilation to the roots of the plants.

Different varieties are grown in the Domaine including Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvedre, Marsanne Roussanne and others typical of the region.
