About Dom. de Pique Roque
The PiqueRoque domain is situated in the heart of the Côtes de Provence, close to Cabasse and Flassans and has 70 hectares of hills, oak forests, fields and vineyards.
In 1999 the domain was bought by the current owners, whose passion it was to cultivate a vineyard in the South of France. That their choice fell on this vineyard is certainly no coincidence: the serene and natural character, the quality of the vines and the soil made the choice very clear. The vineyards themselves cover 15 hectares and are on hills. The substrate, consisting of clay and limestone, provides the vines with rich minerals and is well drained, which certainly improves the quality and concentration of the grapes. But of course the radiant sun and the summer winds of Provence also play an important role in the ripening process of the grapes. The vineyards offer 6 different grape varieties: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Cinsault and Ugni Blanc. They each have their own character, but they complement each other perfectly when vinifying.
