Solar authenticity, granitic expression, and refined mastery

Nestled in the heart of the appellation, Clos du Mont-Olivet is an emblematic family estate of 19 hectares, stemming from a winemaking heritage passed down since the 19th century. Situated on terraces of rolled pebbles with a limestone subsoil, it combines tradition and modernity for wines of subtle elegance.

Terroir & grape varieties

The vines are planted on pebble soil (typical rolled pebbles) mixed with clay and limestone, offering a beautiful mineral expression. The grape composition mainly consists of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, complemented by Cinsault, Vaccarèse. The whites combine Grenache blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul.

Viticulture & winemaking

Aging lasts 12 to 16 months: French barrels for reds (25–40% new wood), vats or demi-muids for whites, preserving freshness and aromatic finesse.
