Our Wines
The vines are reborn at Les Aubettes
The project
After 15 years lying fallow, the vines are reborn at Les Aubettes. Replanted in 2020, they carry on an age-old tradition, guided by six brothers committed to organic farming. Behind the estate, the Rivoire brothers grow vines and olive trees with care and humility, building a human-scale estate founded on quality and authenticity.
The terroir
This terroir bears the mark of the Middle Durance fault, formed 300 million years ago in the Hercynian era. These geological movements shaped a unique soil of limestone, sand and rounded pebbles, giving our wines structure and minerality. The parcel overlooks the Durance, on the border between the Côtes du Rhône and Provence: facing south-east, it catches the rising sun and is naturally sheltered from the mistral.
Viticulture
Since planting, we have chosen sustainable viticulture: no irrigation, gobelet (bush-vine) pruning, managed cover crops. The harvest is done by hand — vine by vine, bunch by bunch — to choose what goes into the vat. Every decision serves a single goal: a sincere wine, deeply rooted in its terroir.
