CHATEAU D L’ESCARELLE

Certified Organic (Since 2020 vintage)

Perfectly located among the green hills of Provence, Château de l’Escarelle’s vineyard is forever evolving and renewing itself.  The property’s 100 hectares of vines flourish in a beautiful protected green setting of 1,000 hectares. The Estate covers more than 1000 hectares of protected, wild landscapes with a unique character, Garrigues and oaks trees mixed with typical provencal plants create a wonderful rich landscape. 

The vines are planted on soil consisting of limestone pebbles, on terraces separated by dry-stone walls at an altitude of up to 500 metres, harmoniously following the shape of Escarelle’s hills and montagne de la Loube. This variation in altitude contributes to the terroir’s special character, enabling the vinification of very expressive wines, thereby defining Escarelle’s unique, sophisticated signature.

The estate’s owner is deeply committed to preserving and bringing out the best in this natural environment that has so much potential, and has undertaken various projects, such as the restoration of existing buildings for wine and nature tourism, and also an organic certification of the entire estate.  

A general butterfly preservation project has been developed at the property.  Château de l’Escarelle became a pilot site dedicated to the study and preservation of butteflies. This involves, for example, various ecological engineering initiatives, the creation of spaces dedicated to their study, and the setting up of a long-term monitoring system… The preservation and development of the property’s historical, cultural and natural heritage have been undertaken with a view to pursuing the owner’s desire to create a little area of paradise, as close to nature as possible.
