An air of timelessness permeates the shade cast by the Sannes plane trees. The air’s blue gaze tempts you along the honey-coloured drive leading to the chateau. The old mill drinks the gentle wind above the green strokes of vineyards painted on the Luberon landscape. The sunshine beats down on summer’s red cherries embraced by lavender’s mauve fragrance. Step into the garden’s cool air...
The wines are the fruit of a union between exceptional terroir, unique grape varieties and Mediterranean sunshine, brought together by the ingenuity of Sannes’ people.
