THE ESTATE

Wines born at 400 metres,
between sky and stone.

Nestled 400 metres up in a sheltered, microclimatic bowl at Pontevès, Château La Calisse is the life’s work of Patricia Ortelli, who has entirely rebuilt this 10-hectare vineyard since 1991, guided by a single pursuit: to reveal the very essence of Provençal fruit.

Certified organic, the estate grows Syrah, Grenache and Vermentino with deep respect for its terroir. Every vintage tells the story of a year, a soil, a sun.

OUR STORY

Thirty-five harvests

Every harvest is a wager made anew: on the weather, on the vines, on the skills already learned and those still to be invented. Patricia Ortelli has lived through thirty-five of them at La Calisse. No two have been alike, and none has made her doubt the path she chose.
