Located in the town of Beausset, this locality is perched on the southern slope of the Beausset-Vieux massif on clay-limestone soil (Muschelkalk 200 million years old in the basement) with a wide variety of surface soils : stony then red, ocher and sometimes almost blue clays.
The average altitude of this circus-shaped terroir is 270 meters. Depending on the year, the “La Migoua” cuvée contains between 50 and 65% Mourvèdre. The proportion of cinsault is important there especially in the hillside of La Louffe facing south. Often more animal than the other cuvées, La Migoua shows great complexity. It is a wine with subtle aromas and a beautiful balance announcing a long aging potential.
La Migoua is a well-known and characteristic place of geological thrust, often studied for its very interesting complexity. Here we find an outcrop of much older soils than in the rest of the appellation. Indeed, we meet here the case of "subduction plate" that is to say the process of driving a tectonic plate under another plate. At the time of the alpine folding (phenomenon of orogenesis) the soils below turned over onto younger soils.
Another peculiarity is the enormous geological fracture of the Val d'Arenc, which brings out successive strata dating from the Triassic period at La Migoua. It is in this wild environment, alternating between guarrigue and pine forests, that the plots of vines are nested.
