Located at the foot of the Massif des Maures, 20km from St-Tropez, this authentic 18th-century Provencal bastide has belonged to the Sauron family since 1836. This former farm of the Pères de la Chartreuse de la Verne was a vineyard long before the French Revolution.
History
Sylvaine and Guy Sauron and their children Marie and Thomas have been working the Siouvette estate since 1936.
That's 7 generations and over 180 years of dedication to excellence, with respect for the terroir and farming practices.
Vineyard and terroir
Surrounded by cork oak and heather, the estate extends over 20 hectares facing south.
The vines are planted on slopes with schistose soil, clay on the upper part of the estate, and gravel near the river (on the parcels planted with white grapes).
Wine-making
Selection by plot. Hand-picked only in the morning.
Pellicular maceration for a few hours in an inert atmosphere for rosé and white wines.
For reds: Aged on fine lees until bottling. Aged in French oak barrels for 6 months.
