An exceptional terroir

The Mas Théo vineyard is situated on a rather exceptional terroir. The surface soil consists mainly of rounded pebbles (from an ancient Rhône beach dating back to the Quaternary period), whilst the subsoil is clayey and varies in depth. The Mistral wind blows over the vines throughout the year. The grape varieties are typical of the Rhône Valley. Syrah and Grenache make up the bulk of the vineyard, alongside Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault.

Organic farming, biodynamics, biodiversity… the winegrower tells you all about it

“For me, biodynamics is the logical next step in my personal journey towards the sustainable management of my vineyard. The biodynamic approach builds on organic farming, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of living organisms. It brings me closer to my grandfather’s land; his farming was guided by common sense, which was nothing other than careful observation. Today, I see and experience my vineyard differently. The observations I make on my estate – a living vineyard, expressive wines – encourage me to develop this philosophy.” Click here to find out more about the estate’s philosophy.
