Domaine Tropez<br />

Domaine Tropez was born in 1996 and it has assembled a number of AOC Côtes<br />

de Provence vines, covering over 40 hectares. The vineyard has undergone<br />

major reconstruction calling for a large investment to build a state of the art<br />

wine cellar. The dominant vines grown around the estate and in the region are<br />

Grenache, these give structure and aroma to the wines. Tibouren is a specific<br />

vine from the local region of the Golfe of Saint-Tropez, bringing elegance and<br />

finesse. Other complementary vines to these are Cinsault for the rosé, Rolle<br />

and Semillon for the white, Syrah and Cabernet for the red. The personality of<br />

the estate wines is the result of exceptional circumstances; they are under the<br />

strong maritime influence of the clay and limestone soils along with the sandy<br />

mediterranean climate. In line with the principles of organic farming, all vine<br />

growing procedures are wisely thought through: regular mechanical weeding<br />

is performed to limit chemical weed control, using certified organic fertilizers.<br />

Harvesting is done at a low temperature to obtain white and rosé wines<br />

with elegant and complex aromas, also creating crisp, light-coloured wines.<br />

These are the characteristics of Domaine Tropez.
