Provence appellation d'origine contrôlée wines derive from several growths. Initially, the producer harvests and vinifies each of them separately. Then, after careful evaluation of the qualities of each of these single growth wines, he assembles them in proportions adjusted every year depending on the vintage, so that the final product brings together the qualities of each original growth. In this way, each of the growths adds its character to the final product which has to be balanced, harmonious, giving full expression to the 'terroir' as required by the tradition of appellations d'origine contrôlée.

This work means being a goldsmith and an orchestra conductor at the same time. In Provence, assemblage is a very difficult stage in the production of wine. The basic principles of vinification have remained immutable over time and in the wine cellar, the work of the wine maker has travelled through time to our era practically untouched. That said, the tools, the equipment and the machinery have evolved enormously, making the techniques far more reliable and sophisticated.
