The wine region spreads over almost 400 hectares
(about 1000 acres) facing the Sainte Victoire mountain,
renowned through the works of Cézanne.
This region stretches from the foothills of Mount Olympia along the cliffs of Kirbon.
The earth favors a good and natural tang in the wine.
The exposure to the northern slope protects the grapes from burning sun and allows them to ripen slowly. This results in an excellent combination of wine and the earth from where it is born.
The viticulture is enhanced by improving wines like Sirah, Grenache, Vermentino and Mourvèdre, assuring quality and uniqueness.
The winery was founded in 1914 and has preserved traditionnal pressing, although using modern winemaking technology.
The great care from vintage to conservation (air-conditionned cellars) produces the utmost quality.
With full confidence the wine-growers LEI BASSAQUET promise to make every effort to satisfy the desires of connoisseurs.
