In the late 1980's Jacques Seysses, founder of Domaine Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, started looking for a vineyard in the South of France. They were driven by the conviction that great wines could be produced in Provence. Ferment takes place in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Some of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, while the rest is blocked at an earlier stage to retain its freshness. The lots are subsequently blended.

Notes sourced from winery...
Sainte Fleur is explosive on the nose with apricot, honeysuckle and honey aromas. It has great power and intensity, combined with a beautiful balance between richness, acidity and minerality.
