Wine Story

  • Terroir

    In our land a mysterious voice enchants hearts with its serene melody and hidden charm, invigorating the soul and inspiring generosity, truthfulness, and kindness. By taking advantage of the coolness of certain terroirs and the naturally fertile soil of our vineyard, we have composed our Vox wines as a music that carries to your heart the echo of the Provencal mountain voice. For these vintages we have chosen parcels of land where the freshness of our mountainous zone expresses itself more intensely, thus moderating within the wine itself the generous sunshine of Provence.

  • Vineyard

    In all the selected parcels, the common thread is the freshness of the mountain air and the warmth of the sunny hills. The South parcel of land in the enclosed grounds of the Sisters of Annunciation Convent, whose soil is a mixture of clay and limestone planted with Clairette vines, brings a powerful aromatic beauty to this wine. The terroir Saint Vincent, placed at the bottom of the monks’ hill, with a sandy and lime soil, is planted with young Clairette for the fresh and acid qualities. The Saint Thérèse parcel of land, with clay and sand combination, allows the Roussanne to bring the wine its unique aroma and powerful structure. On the foothills of Le Ventoux, a few more Clairette parcels from selected growers fill their grapes with the generous sun and rich clay soil.

  • Vinification

    The harvesting is done by hand while each grape is strictly inspected for its ripeness and health in the monks’ and the local growers’ parcels. The pressing is done at low pressure directly with the clarification of the must done by cold sedimentation. The vinification process is done in concrete tanks under controlled temperatures: the fermentation takes place slowly in order to extract the best aromas from each grape variety. The wine is then put up on a thin layer of lees over 6 months. The assembling of the different wines is done shortly before the bottling.

Via Caritatis

A 700-year-old tradition of excellence

In 1309, in the foothills of Mont Ventoux, France, in the Southern Rhône, Pope Clement V planted the very first papal vineyard – now known as Via Caritatis. But what began then was so much more than a vineyard—it was a vision of winemaking motivated by a spirit of charity. Today, more than 700 years later, that spirit of charity characterized by mutual service, generosity, and sharing, guides our community of monks and nuns from the Benedictine Abbey of Le Barroux in their winemaking.
