The Lancelier en Provence vintage is all about passion. Magali pampers her olive grove so that its produce meets the standards of excellence of the PDO of the Baux de Provence Valley.
Produced as part of a century-old cooperative of more than 450 olive growers, the olives of Lancelier en Provence are pressed at the mill in Mouriès. There, the olive juice is released in accordance with the most detailed rules to provide top-quality fruity green and fruity black olive oil.
The olive grove
Lancelier en Provence honors traditional expertise. It is on the side of a hill, dominated by scrubland and sheltered from the wind by the Alpilles and where the weather and the seasons are intertwined, where the olive grove comes to life at Mouriès.
Here, we have carried out reasoned cultivation and the crop is harvested manually in the interest of respect for the environment.
The trees are in the image of those who collect the harvest, contemplating the decor and breathing in the aroma of an air embalmed in peace. Six hundred feet dot the olive grove for the start of a collection that is controlled, almost secret…
1956
1956: The cold snap that swept through the Baux Valley wiped out most of the olive trees known for their unique olive oil. This is a valley that is so unique that the olive trees were able to rise again, at the foot of their respective stumps.
The 1956 Lancelier en Provence vintage is a tribute to the power of a nature that is as strong as it is beautiful.
The grove includes the five typical varieties of olives of the Alpilles (the Salonenque, the Verdale, the Béruguette, the Grossane and the Picholine)).
The precious“Green Gold of the Baux Valley comes from their subtle blend selected by the skill of our miller.
