Château de Pourcieux is flanked by two mountain ranges, the Monts Auréliens and the Sainte-Victoire (made famous by Cézanne's paintings). The sloped vineyards, which cover 62 acres, benefit from a southern exposure. Since the late 1700s, the family of Michel d'Espagnet has owned the Château de Pourcieux, located just miles east of the picturesque town of Aix-en-Provence. |
