Like many Chateauneuf du Pape growers, the vines of Mas de Boislauzon are located in five different lieu-dits spread across the appellation. Most of their terroirs are sand, loam and limestone, and some are littered with rocks. Their oldest, prized vines are the Mourvedre, which on average are a respectable 70-90 years of age.

 

Sorting takes place in the vineyard and again at the cellars of Mas de Boislauzon. They do not destem the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in traditional cement vats. Generally speaking, the grape varieties are fermented separately, although some of their Grenache and Mourvedre are co fermented in the same vat. Wines are aged in tanks and small oak barrels, depending on the wine, and the variety.
