As Traditional As We Can
Situated on the site of an ancient roman villa, Chateau Val Joanis was originally the property of Jean de Joanis, secretary to king Louis III of Naples.
The estate covers over 400 hectares of lush and unspoilt protected countryside, typical of Luberon with its forest of pine trees, olive groves and vines. A 100 hectares of vines are planted on clay limestone slopes which benefit from the hot sunny days and the cool nights of this part of Provence.
The wine make philosophy is simple, using traditional wine making techniques and rejecting chemicals. Keeping yields as low as possible ensures the best possible flavours can be extracted from their fruit. The nature of the soil and the favourable climate allow Château Val Joanis to produce powerful yet elegant red wines based on Syrah and Grenache. The whites are mainly made with Viognier, Roussanne and white Grenache giving fresh and aromatic wines.
