The Estate

Located in the heart of the Côtes de Provence appellation, the Château Gassier embodies winemaking excellence and Provençal authenticity. As the heir to a know-how passed down through generations, the estate benefits from an exceptional environment nestled at the foot of Montagne Sainte-Victoire. This privileged setting offers a microclimate conducive to the production of characterful wines. Combining sustainable viticulture and cellar innovation, Maison Gassier enhances its terroir and offers unique cuvées imbued with elegance and finesse.

The Terroir

Sourced from parcels in the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation area, Pas du Moine is made from vines rooted in clay-limestone soils, ensuring remarkable balance and freshness.

Winemaking and Aging

The grapes are harvested at night to preserve all their freshness. A direct pressing of 2 to 3 hours is carried out, followed by a cold settling for one week. Fermentation then takes place in concrete tanks to preserve the aromatic purity of the wine.

Blend

Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle.
