Chateau Simone
Cotes de Provence
The vineyard forms a mosaic of plots surrounded by trees. The Rougier family reconstituted the vineyard in the wake of the phylloxera crisis. It has an exceptional average age, with some plots more than 110 years old! Missing vines have always been rigorously replaced.
The vineyard contains a wide selection of different grape varieties - Clairette, Grenache & Mourvedre are the main ones. The vines are trained in goblet formation and espaliered on stakes. They are cultivated without chemical fertilizers or weedkillers.
The domain is open from 8:00 to 12:00 & from 14:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday, and from 9:00 to 12:00 & 14:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
