The Calavon Valley, a confluence area

The vineyards of the Arnia estate extend over 15 km, in the communes of Bonnieux, Goult and Oppède, between Apt and Cavaillon, two cities founded by the Romans and located along the Via Domitia that has connected Italy to Spain for more than 2,000 years.
The estate consists of 12.5 hectares of vines, including 5. 2 ha of AOC Luberon, 6 ha of AOC Ventoux and 1.3 ha of Mediterranean PDO.
Thanks to the diversified 14 Mediterranean grape varieties available, our ability to create multiple cuvees, while respecting the characteristics of each terroir, is extremely large.

So, it is possible that from one year to another, you will not find the same assemblages. Baron Pierre le Roy de Boiseaumarié, the world’s leading winemaker, affirmed that the French were not made for standardized production, that their genius was elsewhere. On our small scale and in all humility, we will try to pay tribute to him by giving priority to creation over standardization.

Arnia, an estate in Luberon

In Italian, Arnia means the hive as we would like to honor the bees. Do you know that one third of our food depends on the pollination work done by the bees
Yet, the vine is self-fertile. This means that it can do without pollinating insects At the Arnia estate, we will soon be installing hives. We are already Agri Confidence certified.
Arnia, the hive, echoes our way of life, our way of functioning. It is the family members who hum together during the big celebrations. These are the workers who harvest beautiful grapes to bring them to the cellar and make them vinified with the aim of making beautiful wines.

Finally, the hive is the community of men and women on which a territory is built, the community of teachers, peasants, traders, craftsmen, thinkers, helpers, careers, activists.

Arnia is our name, our philosophy, our desire to participate actively, on our modest scale, in the development of our territory. As you can see, in a bottle of Arnia, there’s more than just wine. There are also beliefs, convictions, sweat, doubts, but also landscapes and stories.
