The Domaine des Hauts du Clos is a family-owned 20-hectare estate located in Carcès, in the Var department, within the Côtes de Provence appellation.

In the heart of the “Green Provence,” the terroir is clay-limestone, with a mild semi-continental climate that makes it the core of the Côtes de Provence production area.
This Protected Designation of Origin is today the most sought-after for rosé wines.

Although the coastline (Saint-Tropez) is about fifty kilometers from the estate, it still retains the tranquility of Provençal villages during the summer season.

The grape varieties grown on the estate are Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Rolle.

This diversity produces silky, fresh wines that express the full minerality and smoothness of the fruit.

We are certified HVE (High Environmental Value) level 3. This certification guarantees that our vineyard management is sustainable, conservative, and respectful of biodiversity as well as the various topographical elements of the ecosystem.

We harvest exclusively at night (between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.) to obtain the freshest possible grapes, ensuring minimal oxidation and excellent quality of the free-run juice.

The pressing technique used is known as “direct pressing” in a closed-cage pneumatic press. Oxidation is nearly zero, and the skin-contact maceration is very short, which allows for pale colors while preserving aromas.

The distinctive feature of the estate is our “cold” vinification, between 14 and 16 °C instead of the usual 17 to 19 °C, carried out in enamelled concrete tanks. This process takes longer but results in wines that are far more aromatic and expressive, offering round, silky profiles with no bitterness or acidity.
