Château Beaubois covers a total of 60 hectares of Costieres de Nimes in the Southern Rhone Valley.
Fanny and François Boyer, brother and sister, are the 4th generation owning the vineyards. They sublimate their terroir by wines of freshness, elegance and depth.
Overhanging the Camargue and dominated by the Cevennes, nature reveals itself to exquisite winegrowing terroir.
This superb terroir is the sum of many factors:
- The main soils of the area are made up of pebbles, the oldest element in the appellation. Fallen rocks from the mountains washed by ancient rivers, lakes and seas. They play a significant role as an accelerator for heating up the vineyards during cold spells or unseasonable weather.
- The Mistral winds provide a positive influence over the terroir; their cool and dry air lends the vineyards a barrier of disease prevention
- Being as close as it is to the seas, the thermal winds from the Mediterranean Basin refresh the vineyard during the hottest hours in summer. All the wines of Beaubois benefit from this with inherent freshness abound.
The zone of Camargue and petite Camargue provides wonderful wild landscapes. Ponds, reed beds and biodiversity dominate throughout this untamed land. The abundance of wild flora and beneficial fauna in this area are aparent in the wines.
Fanny and Francois have followed in the generations of family footsteps by taking a biodiverse, organic and vegan approach to all the viticulture and winemaking of the Chateau. They strive to preserve the lands using natural farming practices and hand harvesting.
