About Originally, Domaine de l’Amaurigue was a farm built in 1786 and the estate consisted of forest. The first vines were planted in the 1940s thanks to the owners at that time, who selected the best varieties to be planted on the best parcels of the estate. Since their arrival in 1998, the Dutch family De Groot has completely renovated the living area of the estate and the vineyard respecting the originality of the place. One of the major steps in this historical restructuring of the l’Amaurigue estate was building the modern wine-making cellar. During the winemaking process done by the talented winemaker Jean Marie Quef (born and raised on Miraval), our working philosophy is to preserve the authenticity and natural aromatic taste of our grapes in order to realize one of the best AOP wines in the Provence. Terroir The vineyard covers 47 hectares of vines in the middle of a 155-hectare secluded wooded area. Vines are comfortably wedged into sloping hillsides and facing south and east. The hilly surroundings of the property and its clay-limestone soils allow the Provençal grape varieties to fully express their aromas. Grenache, cinsault and carrignan for the rosés; syrah and cabernet sauvignon for the reds, rolle and ugni blanc for the whites. Today the wine is distributed in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Ibiza, US, Canada and Asia. Sustainability The family strives to produce authentic wines of high quality, with respect for the environment and focus on sustainability: strengthening biodiversity and the natural protection of the crops on the estate. For this Amaurigue is awarded with the High Environmental Value Certificate (HVE). HVE covers four key areas: biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategy, management of the use of fertilizer and management of water. Also all wines are vegan. Awards With its unique terroir, Domaine de l’Amaurigue produces top-quality and award winning Provence wines: like the Médaille d’Or on the Concours Général Agricole de Paris and gold at the Decanter World Wine Awards in London. Last year the Fleur de l’Amaurigue rosé won a golden medal at the Concours Mondial in Brussels.
