Bastide du Claux was born in 2002 and is located in the heart of the Luberon National Park in the high hills of western Provence. Sylvain works a diverse group of parcels totaling 15 ha, planted to 14 different varietals scattered throughout the region. 

Southwest-facing terraces surrounding the village of Ansouis, the north-eastern slopes near the village of Motte d’Aigues, and gravel deposits near the village of Cabrières d’Aigues.

Sandy-clay soils above clay sub-soils locally known as "Safres"

The nose, pleasant and open, exhales aromas of white flowers and fruits, acacia, peach, pear, all slightly honeyed. Here we have a beautiful maturity and pretty clean and delicate aromatic expression.

In the mouth, the wine is very pleasant, with suppleness and roundness; it is oriented towards a nice aromatic amplitude with aromas of fruits like white grapefruit, dried thyme, and white flowers.  Ends with a more southern finish, marked by spices.
