Our philosophy EN

Welcome to the domaine Terre de Mistral

We want to offer to our customers a reflection of who we are: Provencal from the heart and soul, from a modest family, who by force of their hard work emphasize the quality of our region. The unique charm of the architecture is a reflection of this convivial simplicity of where the workers rub shoulders with the restaurant, the shop, an exhibition space / meeting room / seminar all under one roof. From these areas you will have a view of the winery and olive oil mill through large windows. The welcome is warm, and it is not unlikely to meet the workers from the vineyard and cellar in working clothes.

A little history

Foremost a human adventure

The owners of the winery Domaine Terre de Mistral, Nadia and Serge Davico, are natives of Rousset (near Aix-en-Provence) and the vineyard came partly from serge’s grandfather, “Galine” as called by his peers.

“In 2008, I wanted to create a range of high quality wines making the most of the Sainte Victoire region and above all to be able to share my passion in my profession” explains Serge.

This is when in 2008, a partnership with Denis Gueury was formed, and the wine cellar and the olive oil mill Domaine Terre de Mistral was born. Today, thanks to the help of a dynamic team we are proud to distribute our wines to wine shops and renowned restaurants throughout France and in more than ten countries around the world.

The Domaine Terre de Mistral welcomes more than ten thousand visitors and tourists every year, attracted by the rural and cosy surroundings that we strive to provide every day with passion, and curious to get to know our regional products. This great adventure can been seen on all our bottles of wine and olive oil, as they all are named after someone in our family…

About the nature

A responsible environmental approach

We are carrying out a sustainable agriculture: we believe that we must take into account the health of the plant without forgetting human health. We must integrating that soil life is essential, and that we need to protecting our water ressources and attach importance to life in all its biodiversity. It is a difficult process.. and there is no perfect solution. Some are heading to “organic AB” growing methods, other to “Biodynamic”. For our part, we have been paying close attention to the environmental impact of our vineyard work; implementing a sustainable agriculture that has been reconized High Environmental Value (HVE) This certification is guaranteed by the State, it comes from the Grenelle Environment. The articulation is done around four axes :

Biodiversity: Our vines have grass one rank out of two, as well as the headlands (refuge for insects, butterflies …)
many plots are bordered by hedges that we have planted, or have natural thickets
Use of phytosanitary products : we have abandoned chemical herbicides replaced by mechanical weeding.
Fertilization : In the context of HVE there is a maximum nitrogen threshold per hectare that we can bring, the vines are not greedy nitrates, so it is very easy to stay below this threshold
Water management : We abandoned irrigation for drip irrigation on 90% of the plots: allowing us to save water.
