Clos Saint Vincent is the best estate of the tiny Bellet appellation in Nice's metropolitan area on the French Riviera.
This unique steep terroir, mostly set in terraces is influenced by both the Mediterranean Sea and the Alpes.
The wines are rare and exquisite from endemic varieties such as Braquet and Folle Noire.
Gio Sergi and his son Julien are admirably running this 10ha property since 1993.

Domaine Ray-Jane
Constant Family
Organic producer
Domaine Ray-Jane is one of the oldest estates of France dating back to 1288.
Old vines have a real meaning here and are up to 130 years old with a third of the 30ha property being a century old.
The vineyards in terraces are run like a garden and have always been organic.
Work is mostly done by hand and is respectful to tradition and nature.
At Ray-Jane, wines are truly made in the vineyard. They are intense, authentic, show personality, and are worth ageing.
