The Mas de Cadenet estate is located at the base of the Sainte Victoire mountain (the mountain that French artist Cézanne made famous
through his paintings), in the heart of Provence. It is a family estate and has been owned and run by the Négrel family for seven generations. The domaine is composed of 45 hectares of vines planted 250 meters above sea level, with a southern exposure. 40 hectares are classified in AOC Sainte-Victoire, and 5 hectares are planted in AOC Côtes de Provence. The name Mas means Estate in Provençal (the local dialect), and Cadenet comes from cade, a shrub of the Juniper family.
