Château Calissanne

Château Calissanne covers 1,200 hectares, including 110 hectares of south-facing vineyards with A.O.P. Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence and IGP certification. The terroir of Château Calissanne consists of gently sloping stony hillsides at the foot of large limestone cliffs, which are very well suited to growing vines and olive trees. In the unique terroir of Château Calissanne, the hot, dry Mediterranean climate (annual rainfall 550 mm) is tempered by the sea breeze, providing the vineyard with generous sunshine.

Sophie Kessler now runs the Château Calissanne estate alongside her son Thomas. The Château Calissanne vines are carefully cultivated with a focus on low yields, and most of the production is geared towards producing rosé wines typical of Provence.
