LES VIGNERONS DU MONT SAINTE VICTOIRE DE PUYLOUBIER

The most beautiful way to go to the village of Puyloubier is to take the D 17 which runs along the famous mountain Saint Victoire, the well appointed Route Cézanne. Puyloubier and its vineyard offer a delightful landscape. Puyloubier's name comes from «Podium Luperium», the wolves mountain, which attests to the presence of this animal in the past. On the Puyloubier site, we find important Celto Ligurian and Roman remains as well as several chapels of xiith and xiiith century remarkably conserved (Saint-Ser and Saint-Pancrace in particular). The vineyard, located between pine groves and olive groves, extends into the south slope of the Holy Victory. The Cave des Vignerons du Mont Sainte Victoire comprises a hundred winemakers operating 700 hectares of vineyards. The Cellar comprises 80 co-operatives and produces 39,000 hectolitres of wine in AOC Côtes de Provence or AOC Sainte Victoire. Over the generations, these growers have committed themselves to farming environmentally friendly. The wine cellar, engaged in the "Agricultural" certification in the mid -2000 s, is now part of the "Winemakers in Sustainable Development" approach: produce quality wines, lasting, with the greatest respect for men, the environment and consumers.
