Discover the grape variety: Bargine
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Rustic, discreet profile.

The wine region of Les Baux-de-Provence
Provençal AOC in the Alpilles massif (7 communes, 277 ha, France's first 100% organic/biodynamic AOC since 2023), stony calcareous soils, sunny Mediterranean climate with Mistral. Signature reds from Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah (≥60%): elegant and sun-drenched with black cherry, garrigue, thyme, rosemary, black olive and peppery notes, tannins melted by sun. Fresh, crunchy rosés. Full whites from Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Roussanne.
The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
