The people who live in the Upper Orb Valley are like the landscape itself - it takes character to live in these rugged valleys. But by their love and labours, they succeed in coaxing the very best fruits out of the land.

While the valley and slopes soak up the Mediterranean sunshine, the climate in the Upper Orb Valley is tempered by its altitude.

Having arrived in this region 15 years ago, François Pottier and his wife Katie farm an estate of 12 hectares where they grow quality grape varieties - Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache and Carignan - producing wines with rich and powerful aromas.

François Pottier has succeeded in combining modern vinification methods with traditional winemaking skills to produce wines of exceptional quality that make every meal something special.
