Ch\u00e2teau Bonisson sits in a\u00a0preserved ecosystem<\/strong>, unique in Provence, with\u00a010 hectares of vines<\/strong>\u00a0in the\u00a0Coteaux d\u2019Aix-en-Provence<\/strong> geographical denomination bordered by natural woodland.<\/p>\n Vines have been recorded as far back as 1791 on this remarkable site whose shale soils, formed in the primary era, are situated in an area where three soil types converge \u2013\u00a0chalk<\/strong>,\u00a0limestone-clay<\/strong>, and\u00a0alluvial deposits<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0Le Dorze family<\/b>\u00a0has always sought to uphold the values they hold dear:\u00a0quality, authenticity, natural methods<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0sharing<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n To bring out the best in each individual parcel while\u00a0respecting the environment<\/strong>, they carried out significant restructuration and improvement of the estate. The vineyard is\u00a0farmed organically<\/strong>, and the various tasks are carried out with respect for the\u00a0lunar calendar<\/strong>. Horse power is used for tilling, earthing up and hoeing between the rows of vines to respect the earth and avoid compaction. The grapes are also\u00a0all picked by hand<\/strong>\u00a0by experienced teams, and low yields result in\u00a0<\/span>wines of excellent quality<\/a><\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1140″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Acquiring a wine estate was the\u00a0Le Dorze family\u2019s\u00a0<\/b>lifelong dream.\u00a0<\/b>Originally from Burgundy, they naturally had\u00a0a particular affinity\u00a0<\/b>with vineyards and with wine.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In 2017 they immediately fell in love with this incredibly charming,\u00a0unspoilt place<\/strong>, with its 18<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0century country house and\u00a0Italianate\u00a0<\/b>terrace overlooking the vineyards encircled by woodland and a hill covered in ancient oaks.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”90px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n They are fascinated by the complex nature of\u00a0viticulture and winemaking<\/strong>\u00a0and want nothing more than to bring their own professional experience to bear with an approach that combines\u00a0tradition and modern technology<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n After a career in the agri-food industry and in marketing, Victoire made the lifechanging decision to make Ch\u00e2teau Bonisson her home and breathe new life into this magical place.
