Located in Languedoc-Roussillon, the area is blessed with a Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, dry summers and balanced nicely by the proximity of the Black Mountain (foothills of the Massif Central), which brings a certain freshness to the terrain. The wind is another important element that can be troublesome in the early growth phases of the grapes, but is something that all life must adapt to in the area if it is to survive. Other than this, the vines grow easily here, as they always have. Thus it falls to the vintner to understand how to achieve ideal maturation levels with minimal interference with the vines natural tendencies, and ultimately harvest at the right moment.
