Mas de la Dame

Today, Mas de la Dame is run by Caroline Missoffe and Anne Poniatowski, the great-granddaughters of Auguste Faye, who bought the property at first sight in 1903. Located on the southern slopes of the Alpilles, at the foot of the mythical village of Les Baux de Provence, the Mas de la Dame estate covers 300 hectares, including 57 hectares of vines and 28 of olive groves.

Mas de la Dame uses organic farming methods and undergoes annual inspections by Qualité France. The soil is worked mechanically, and weedkillers and pesticides are banned. All cultivation practices are also in line with the Charte Nutrition Méditerranéenne en Provence set up by the Chambre Départementale d'Agriculture. Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre and Carignan are used to make red and rosé wines, while Rolle, Clairette and Sémillon are used for white wines. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the average yield at Mas de la Dame does not exceed 35 hectoliters per hectare.
