Chateau des Bormettes L'Argentiere Cotes de Provence Rose
Situated around Provence’s Saint Martin Peak at an elevation of 111 meters, Château des Bormettes is renowned for its ancient oak tree and a historic cellar located under a Carthusian monastery. This land was host to some of the first Gallo-Roman vineyards, but it was the Carthusian monks of the 14th century who spearheaded the winemaking evolution. Since the early 1900s, Château des Bormettes is family owned and operated with a strong commitment to the preservation of nature and a steadfast resistance to urbanization. The domaine benefits from a privileged location, set back in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, which offers a dry and temperate climate with maritime influences and bay air currents between two important geographic landmarks: the Massif des Maures and the Iles d’Or. The well-draining soils are very stony, dominated by shale and quartz over limestone, with a low density of organic matter, an ideal composition for the cultivation of vines and olive trees. In
