OUR CELLAR
AT CHÂTEAU RÉAL D’OR
Precision craftsmanship
Château Réal opens its doors and invites you to discover the behind-the-scenes making of its vintages, as well as those of Domaine Heure Bleue. A place where technology serves the terroir.
The shop
Within the tasting cellar itself, a shop immerses you at the very heart of Provence. Discover our various wines, our olive oil and other local products.
An exceptional cellar
As early as 2011, the new cellar was built with the utmost respect for the environment. Designed by architect Antoine Lévêque in a pared-back spirit, it spans 1,000m² at ground level. Largely underground, it provides our wines with the thermal stability, silence and darkness they need.
State-of-the-art equipment
From grape reception to bottling, our state-of-the-art equipment handles our winemaking in the best possible conditions, preserving the richness of our terroir. Temperature and humidity are continuously monitored.
Harvesting takes place at night, plot by plot and variety by variety; grapes are received in the cellar by gravity flow and undergo meticulous manual sorting. Our wines are crafted in collaboration with our consulting oenologist Jérôme Paquette.
Guaranteed quality
After 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels, our red wines rest for a further 12 months in bottle, ensuring optimal tasting conditions. Our inert-gas bottling line allows us to keep full control over the wine’s oxidation, guaranteeing the quality of our product over time.
