Rimauresq takes its name from the ‘’Real Mauresque’’ which is the river which flows through the vineyards. The Domaine itself is located at the foot of Notre Dame Des Anges and the Massif des Maures mountain range. At the heart of the Provence wine region, twenty minutes from Toulon, Rimauresq consists of 57 hectares of vines.
Its exceptional‘terroir’, recognised through its Cru Classé status, results in wines of elegance, complexity, purity and long term cellaring potential.The terroir is of crystalline rock with sand and gravelly soil. It frequently benefits from the combination of the individual terroirs in the same area of the vineyard. It is this diversity that allows Rimauresq to excel in all three colours red, white and rosé.

On these harsh soils, aided by a North-West orientation, the vines produce small quantities of very highly concentrated grapes. The micro climate at Rimauresq is unique within the Appellation. The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 140 to 190 metres and are lucky enough to get the benefit not only of the cooling Mistral winds but also the shade of the mountains above. It is this shade which gives a longer ripening period in the crucial weeks prior to harvest.

Nine noble grape varieties are found at Rimauresq ; Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan for the reds, Rolle (Vermentino) and Ugni Blanc for the whites and Cinsault, Mourvedre and Tibouren for the rosés. At Rimauresq we keep only the best fruit from the vineyards. This dedicated approach, combined with a modern gravity fed winery, allows Pierre Duffort and his team to focus on producing the very best Provencehas to offer.
