[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”A true jewel from Provence” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator][vc_column_text]Stunningly beautiful, La Mascaronne<\/a> is an uncommon, treasured site. Located in the town of Le Luc en Provence, on a sumptuous ring-shaped site where nature seems perfectly intact, it offers unparalleled views of the estate\u2019s age-old stone-walled terraces, magnificent hilly contours and borders of olive trees.<\/p>\n

For Michel Reybier, \u00ab there is a particular energy at La Mascaronne; it is one of those places where a special kind of alchemy puts you at ease. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

La Mascaronne essentially derives its identity from its terroir<\/em>. Certified Agriculture Biologique<\/em> since 2016, the estate\u2019s sixty-hectare vineyard is a single, continuous plot of land surrounded by oak and olive trees.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22149″ img_size=”810×540″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”22299″ img_size=”810×540″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The wines of Ch\u00e2teau La Mascaronne are crafted exclusively from grapes grown on-site and include Ch\u00e2teau La Mascaronne Ros\u00e9, a fresh, balanced ros\u00e9 that expresses all the qualities of the terroir<\/em> from which it is produced. The scrupulous care with which our teams cultivate the vineyard has fostered a deep understanding of the specificities of each terroir<\/em> and plot. Throughout the year, at every phase of the winemaking process, we stop at nothing to achieve our goal of producing wines that are uniquely expressive and balanced, wines with a soul.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see Provence as a providential region for producing excellent ros\u00e9 wines. As for La Mascaronne, it is truly unique. The vineyard is magnificent, and we work to cultivate it according to an utmost respect of nature. Our approach goes beyond our Agriculture Biologique certification: we consider the ecosystem as a whole.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”30″ accent_color=”#a30b34″][vc_custom_heading text=”\u00ab La Mascaronne is one of those places where a special kind of alchemy puts you at ease. \u00bb” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”30″ accent_color=”#a30b34″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\u201cHere as on our other estates, we believe that winemaking is a very long process that merits long-term investment. It is about preserving a legacy and working to sublimate the bounty of Nature. This is what allows us to craft the best wines possible, wines that are meant to be shared with loved ones and enjoyed with fine cuisine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This purpose is perfectly illustrated by the proximity of La R\u00e9serve Ramatuelle<\/a>. Located only a one-hour drive apart, La Mascaronne and La R\u00e9serve Ramatuelle are delightfully complementary. Together they reveal two facets of life in Provence: an intimate encounter with the Mediterranean Sea on one hand, and on the other, a preserved, sumptuous vineyard tucked away among oak and olive trees. The two sites are close enough that guests may enjoy a day at La Mascaronne, to partake in the many pleasures of living in Provence, followed by dinner at La R\u00e9serve Ramatuelle, with the sea for its only horizon\u2026 [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”gray-color justify”]\u201cWe have been present in Provence for more than fifteen years now with La R\u00e9serve Ramatuelle, and I feel very attached to this region, its climate and the quality of life it offers. Acquiring La Mascaronne seemed only natural.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15122″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
