In addition to being the only estate in the commune of Saint-Raphaël, this 12-hectare vineyard is a pure jewel, with unparalleled beauty and a breathtaking view of the sea and the Esterel massif. The soil is made of a red and crumbly volcanic rock which brings finesse, originality and minerality to the wines produced. This unique terroir, a subtle synergy between volcanic soil and sea air, allows not only a reasoned culture limiting the treatments, but it also gives all its character to the Terres Destel wines, in the three colors.
