The authentic expression of a great Provence terroir by Gassier

The estate

The Gassier family’s winemaking history in Provence dates back several generations, but it was in 1982 that the estate adopted its current artisanal approach. Acquired in 2004 by the Jeanjean family through the AdVini group, the Gassier estate is now under the operational direction of Georges Gassier. A pioneer in environmental stewardship, the property stands out for its certifications in organic and regenerative agriculture. The estate has established itself as a benchmark for enthusiasts seeking authentic wines that respect their ecosystem.

The vineyard

Located at the foot of the iconic Sainte-Victoire mountain, the vineyard extends over 40 hectares within the Côtes de Provence appellation. Reaching an altitude of 350 meters, the vines thrive on a mosaic of soils composed mainly of red clay and limestone, with some sandy-clay areas. The entire estate is farmed according to the principles of organic and regenerative agriculture, promoting biodiversity and soil vitality.

Winemaking and aging

To preserve the full freshness of the berries, the harvest for Pas du Moine 350 Blanc 2025 is carried out exclusively at night. The grapes then undergo a slow and gentle direct pressing, followed by cold settling of the juices. Fermentation takes place in historic concrete vats, a technical choice that enhances the purity of the fruit. The wine continues its aging there for two to four months before bottling.

Grape varieties

This wine is made from a blend of vermentino and ugni blanc.
