Our high altitude is unique in Provence. It gives us fruitiness, depth, and well balanced wines. The typical profile of Château Grand Boise is its freshness. The vines are mainly planted on North facing slopes, on limestone, clay, and pink marble soils. To preserve this delicate balance, our vines and wines are Certified Organic and follow the United States National Organic Program.

Hand picked.
Whole grap fermentation.
Fermentation and aging in concrete tank.
Indigenous yeast.

Tasting notes:
Auro, the wind in provencal dialect, is the blend of 3 young plots of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, planted on some of the highest plots on the domain. This cuvee is fruit forward and juicy and is vinified using indigenous yeast (just like all our wines in 2019) and aged in a concrete tank. It offers a light, easy drinking wine, to share with friends, with the characteristic freshness of the domain. Being a red wine of pleasure, to be consumed within the year, it did not seem necessary to add sulphites.
