Mas de Sainte-Croix

The Mas de Sainte-Croix owes its name to a bronze cross that now adorns the building’s east gable. The estate has been owned by the Coipel family since 2002. Today, Julien, Jacques’s son and an oenologist, has taken over the winemaking operations.

Mas de Sainte-Croix owns vineyards on plateaus and hillsides, primarily south-facing, at altitudes between 350 and 400 meters, on the plateau between Valréas and Vinsobres. These plots are dedicated to the production of Côtes-du-Rhône Villages. The soils are clay-limestone with a high stone content (between 10 and 50% pebbles); they are relatively poor but have optimal water reserves, which are highly conducive to deep root growth in the vines.
