The Long Tubi adventure: our passionate story
Our know-how in the production of Provence wines
Always fascinated by the vine and the wine, François Buisine intervenes since 1984 as agronomy engineer with many vineyard properties of Provence. Over the seasons, we have forged a solid experience in the management of the vine and in the vinification of grape varieties.
- In 2001, our crush for the Long Tubi estate was the opportunity to finally create our own wines, from the soil to the glass …
- In 2013, it was with the pride of the passionate and the critical eye of the professional that we released our first cuvées.
- In 2014, many medals come to encourage our work and our convictions !
- The first results of the 2015 competitions continue to reward our efforts
