    Description

    Nestled in the hills of the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence , Château du Seuil is one of Provence's iconic estates . Situated at an altitude ranging from 300 to 500 meters, it benefits from a unique stony, clay-limestone terroir, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the Mistral wind. Château du Seuil cultivates its vines using sustainable viticulture practices, attentive to the natural balance. The 2019 Grand Seuil Rouge is a perfect expression of this philosophy: an intense, elegant, and structured wine that enhances Mediterranean character with a precise and contemporary approach to great Provençal wine.
