About Mas de Cadenet

THE VINEYARD & THE FAMILY

The Mas de Cadenet is located in a breathtaking landscape at the bottom of the Sainte Victoire Mountain, near Aix-en-Provence. The vine is inextricably linked to the land’s History as demonstrated by the fragments of amphorae dating back to Roman Times found on the property.

The history of the Mas de Cadenet starts in 1813 when the Negrel Family acquires the Estate. The Mas de Cadenet is emblematic of Provence. It is a longstanding “Love Story” between a family and its land. Today Guy Negrel runs the Estate with the help of his children Maud and Matthieu.

The vineyard is on a south facing plateau, 250 meters above sea level. Five hectares are in the Côtes de Provence Appellation and forty hectares are on the subappellation Côtes de Provence of Sainte Victoire. The yield of the vines is naturally kept low and ensures high quality wines (45hl/ha on average).

ORGANIC WINES

The Négrel family strongly belives that organic farming is the most appropriate way to express the minerality and nuances of its terroir. The family cultivates the vine with respect so that the terroir can deliver to the wine all its finesse, its density and its minerality.

Organic farming is also an ethic that comes from respecting the work of past generations and the love of future generations who will inherit these lands. The notion of “family domain” makes sense here.
