Summer Letter 2026

The heat arrived suddenly after a cool, rainy spring.

So nature, saturated with water and sunshine, is in full bloom, and the landscapes of the Alpilles are a refreshing shade of green.

Our most devoted readers will remember: we have several birdhouses on the estate.

And we were delighted to learn that the two pairs of roller birds, which have been living here for several years, laid seven eggs this year—a very high number for this species!

We can't wait to see the chicks grow up and fly away on their own!

Once again, the grapevines and olive trees bloomed at the same time, under ideal conditions, giving us hope for a bountiful harvest.

While our thoughts are already turning to the upcoming harvest, the teams continue to debud, prune, and trim—a long-term effort that will continue until veraison in mid-July.

We took advantage of these lush green landscapes to organize a photo shoot, so we can continue to show you new sides of the Mas that you haven't seen yet—or from a new perspective.

A pile of wood at the edge of a plot? The perfect setting for a family photo of Coin Caché and Bois de Rose, our oak-barrel-aged lineup.

Louis also took part in this photo shoot. Although he thought he was coming for a business and management internship, he ended up modeling for the picnic photo shoot with Caroline.

You have to be versatile at Mas de la Dame!

In early June, we also expanded our team by welcoming Mathieu! He has the important task of replacing Jean-Claude, who will be overseeing his final grape harvest before enjoying a well-deserved retirement after 23 years at the Mas de la Dame winery.

Mathieu is preparing for this challenge so he’ll be ready for his first winemaking sessions with us. And it all started with a wonderful tasting of the entire cellar’s selection!

Speaking of wine tastings, *Le Figaro Magazine* awarded our Stèle Rosé 2025 its “Coup de Cœur” prize! It’s a wonderful honor that you can read about in the July 11 issue.

As for this vintage, you can come taste it at our place, or find it on our online store.

Another newspaper recently featured us—this time, it was about Clos des Oliviers! On June 4, *La Provence* published a wonderful article about our cosmetics brand, highlighting our line, which is made up of 96% of naturally derived ingredients (including our olive oil).

Products available at our Mas de la Dame and Clos des Oliviers.

Don't forget that Father's Day is coming up!

To celebrate this occasion, our La Stèle Rouge, Le Vallon des Amants, and Coin Caché Rouge wines will be available at a 10% discount from Wednesday, June 17, through Sunday, June 21, at our store in Les Baux-de-Provence.

Just the thing to spoil dads!

Before we tell you about upcoming events, let's take a look back at the one we held with Maison Guintoli in April.

Aurélien organized a wonderful floral workshop for about twenty participants, who created floral arrangements for our Stèle Rosé before enjoying an aperitif with wine and charcuterie platters.

A fantastic collaboration that we hope to bring you again very soon!

So here’s the announcement of our upcoming events: starting with the Nuits Etoilées!

For this fourth edition at Mas de la Dame, we look forward to seeing you on Friday, July 3, at 7:00 p.m. to explore our wine cellar and our wines, as well as all the surprises prepared by Kolybree, with music by Monsieur Sax and DJ Sin’Dee.

A must-see summer event!

On September 11, grab your hat and pruning shears: we're hosting a morning event

«Grape Picker for a Day»!

After a welcome coffee, we’ll introduce you to this crucial stage in the life of a winery, before wrapping up with a tasting accompanied by cheese and charcuterie platters.

More information will be available soon. We're already looking forward to it!
