The Côtes de Provence ‘Château des Vingtinières’ from Domaine Patrice Moreux comes from 35 hectares with a single tenant, situated on the Permian plateau of the ‘Valley des Maures’, at the heart of the A.O.C. and is favoured by low yields, and a soil of clay, sand and a rocky sub-soil. The combination of this delicate terroir with the dry and sunny weather gives us wines that are elegant, lively and have a persistent finish.
