Les Cuvées Plaisir
The producers of this cuvée cultivate vineyards between 10 and 15 hectares. On the north side of the Luberon massif, a slow and late maturing zone, the soils are mainly clayey-limestone with fine stony soil. On the South side, early maturity zone, the soils are either pebble colluviums deposited by the Durance river, or clayey-limestone with strong stoniness. Still to the south, but at the eastern end of the massif, an area of altitude climbing to 500 meters, late, fresh on marly soils with a high level of limestone.
