Présentation

DEVELOPMENT

This estate will appeal to a buyer interested in putting its own mark on

an wine making estate which has been operating for over 70 years, in a

new “appellation” – in a fast growing quality touristic area.

label should be brought back (stopped in 2014). Included in the price is

6-12 months worth of help and advice from the current owner to show

the buyer how to operate the vineyard and winery. This should ensure

quality a smooth transition for the new owner.

A promising wine tourism activity should be developed (to cater a

growing demand) by converting available surfaces to additional

B&B/guest houses.

The new owner can generate a yearly income of 122,000€ - a 3.5%

return on investment:

Winemaking: net income of 60,000€ on gross revenues of 416.000€

with 30 ha in production, 100,000 bottles, 4,2€/bottle, 3 employees

revenues of 97,000€ with one full time equivalent employee (2

sold at 990€/person)

LOCATION

Between Nimes and Alès. The area is bordered by the foothills of

the Cévennes to the west, the Lussan limestone massif, to the

north, while vast limestone plateaus and woodland expand out to

the east and south.

CLIMATE & SOILS

Mediterranean climate, though slightly gentler due the distance

from the coast and the high ground that curbs the maritime

influence. The temperature varies more widely than in coastal

regions. Small formations with pockets of sandstone, marl,

pebbles, scree, alluvia, hard limestone are dotted across the

landscape and form a mosaic of soils. In 1985, a survey mapped

the area’s winemaking potential, finding uniform parcels of land in

order to organise planting and optimise the grape varieties.

FLAVOURS

The wines of the Duché d’Uzès are all blended wines. Grenache,

Syrah, Viognier, Cinsault, Carignan, or even Mourvèdre and

Marsane all release the full flavours that make the Duché d’Uzès

wines so distinguished. Aromatic, spiced, and fruity, red wines

often bear a hint of liquorice, pepper, and black olive. Deep red,

they are made using the Mediterranean grape varieties: mainly

Grenache Noir and Syrah, with Carignan Noir, Mourvèdre Noir, and

Cinsault Noir. Rosés present a bouquet of white flowers and red

berries and boast a rose petal shade, dominated by Grenache,

blended with Syrah or Cinsault. With golden colour and bouquet of

citrus notes, white wines are mainly Viognier and Grenache Blanc.

HISTORY

The Greeks first planted vines in the region in the 6th century BC, a

practice continued by the Romans, and during the Middle Ages. In the

15th century, vines were planted on the sun-kissed hillsides reclaimed

from the scrubland. At the time, there was talk of an excellent vineyard

and “Noble Wines”. In 1989, the Duché d’Uzès began the process of

earning registered designation of origin AOC status. This appellation is

not intended to produce vast quantities of wine, but rather a high-end,

top-quality wine. The journey was rewarded with AOC/AOP

certification in July 2012.


History and upscale tourism

Often called French Tuscany for its vineyards separated by dark

cypresses, village squares, country mansions, culture, and its

Renaissance buildings, the Uzège (350 sq.m/900 km² around

Uzès, just West of Avignon and North of Nîmes) is a preserved

corner of western Europe that has somehow escaped the notice

of the world's tourist hordes. At the same time in Provence and

in Languedoc, the Uzège region has a number of terroirs in

which wonderful, distinctive goods such as olives, apricots, wine,

cherries, peaches and truffles are produced,

Completely restored, Uzès (pop. 8,500/20,000 in summer) has

retained an architectural heritage that spreads over a landscape

dotted with villages and planted with fruit trees, vines and

truffle oaks. The city centre is listed as a protected historical

sector. The very powerful Ducs d’Uzès were the first dukes of

France and the town was marked by the Wars of Religion, but it

was little affected (if at all) by the Industrial Revolution.

Uzès/Belvezet is located minutes from the Roman Pont du Gard

(with 1.6 million visitors a year), about an hour from Avignon or

the Mediterranean beaches.

.

Wine and truffle coutnry

Black truffles (tuber mélanosporum) have been found in the

calcareous clay of the Uzège area since Antiquity. Uzès was the

French truffle capital during the 19th century. Harvests have slowly

decreased as wheat, olive, vineyard have grown and taken over.

The black truffle renaissance has been on is way since the 1990s

with the organisation of a month-long truffle festival in January

every year (with Michelin star chefs), the relaunch of a truffle

market (with Carpentras and

Richerenches) and a strong

co-marketing with the wines

of the AOP Duché d’Uzès –

as truffles go very well with

the local wines!
