A Rich Winemaking Tradition in Provence

History and Heritage of Mas de Valériole

Mas de Valériole, meaning "farm" in the local dialect, is a historic estate nestled in the heart of Camargue. This remarkable site has witnessed centuries of life, beginning with its first owner, Monsieur François de Valériole, a doctor in Arles, in 1426. The Michel family has proudly owned the estate since the 1950s, continuing its legacy through generations.

Today, three generations of the Michel family work together at Mas de Valériole. Patrick and Jean-Paul, sons of René and Nicole, manage the estate's diverse agricultural activities. Patrick oversees the vineyards, while Jean-Paul focuses on larger crops such as rice, wheat, and sunflowers. Their commitment to organic farming practices ensures a sustainable approach to agriculture.

Commitment to Organic Farming

Organic farming is a core value for the Michel family. Since taking over the vineyards, Patrick has prioritized sustainable practices, earning the organic certification in 2006. Alongside his son Maxime, who joined him in 2015, they produce wines with minimal intervention, including natural wines and those without added sulfites, reflecting their dedication to environmental stewardship and health.

The Mas de Valériole wine range features a variety of grape varieties. Their white wines, including one orange wine, are crafted from Chardonnay and Vermentino, while the rosés and reds showcase Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Caladoc, Petit-Verdot, and Marselan.

Unique Terroir of Camargue

The Camargue region boasts unique soils formed from the sediment left by the Rhône River. These soils are ideal for producing both light, easy-drinking wines and fuller-bodied, age-worthy varieties. The Mistral wind, which blows cold and dry from the northwest, helps maintain vine health by reducing humidity and disease. Rainfall, when it occurs, is typically brought by the sea breeze from the southeast.

Patrick and Maxime focus on crafting fresh, approachable wines, even those meant for aging. They harvest early in the morning to preserve the grapes' natural freshness. Vinification and aging occur in concrete vats and 400L barrels, tailored to each vintage's needs.
