APPELLATION :
A family estate since 1848, the Gualtieri family continues the tradition of handing down the estate from mother to daughter! Today, it's Geneviève, Patrick and their 3 daughters who run the estate with passion: Diane in the cellar, Aurore and Marion in sales.

With his 1,99 m he makes big steps! A very large deer was killed. In homage to François 1er, the inhabitants of Hyères call the place "Pas du Cerf".
