ABOUT THIS WINE
Château de la Deidière is a historic estate located in the heart of the Côtes de Provence, managed by the Fabre family since 1961. The family's winemaking heritage in Provence dates back to 1605. The estate spans 55 hectares of clay-limestone soils rich in rolled pebbles, bordering the communes of Pierrefeu-du-Var, Puget-Ville, and Cuers. The property features a historic 17th-century dovecote (pigeonnier) built under the reign of King Louis XIV, which serves as the inspiration for the estate's wines. The vineyards are farmed sustainably with High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, promoting biodiversity alongside natural woodlands and olive groves.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Château de la Deidière is designed to preserve the delicate fruit and freshness of the traditional Provence varieties. Harvest takes place at the end of August. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo immediate cold skin-contact maceration (maceration pelliculaire) to extract delicate color and primary aromatics without extracting harsh tannins. This is followed by gentle pneumatic pressing. Fermentation is conducted at a temperature-controlled 16°C in air-conditioned cellars. The wine is aged entirely in stainless steel vats to maintain its crisp, vibrant character, with no oak contact or malolactic fermentation.
