MARRENON is, first and foremost, more than 40 years of human adventure shared by 460 wine-growers united into co-operatives and today working in a vineyard spreading in the Luberon and the Ventoux regions. The plots are located in the heart of the State Park of Luberon. Therefore, all farming is done in a sustainable way and special programs to preserve the bio-diversity are put in place.
Vineyard
The producers of this cuvée cultivate vineyards between 10 and 15 hectares. On the north
side of the Luberon massif, a slow and late maturing zone, the soils are mainly clayeylimestone with fine stony soil. On the South side, early maturity zone, the soils are either
pebble colluviums deposited by the Durance river, or clayey-limestone with strong
stoniness. Still to the south, but at the eastern end of the massif, an area of altitude climbing
to 500 meters, late, fresh on marly soils with a high level of limestone.
Plots cultivated according to the principles of Organic Agriculture. The method of vine
management is of high quality: pruning in cordon de royat, careful trellising of the vines, the
traditional way. The grapes are harvested at the end of long maturation periods, on the
stump.
Winemaking
The macerations take place at a low temperature to preserve the freshness and the
aromatic nuances and over a long time to seek the structure and the density in mouth.
