All the wines produced at Château de Crémat come from organic grapes. The vineyard of Bellet grows on a stone, clay and silica-limestone soils of the hill of Nice. This soil is called Poudingue, is a poor soil that favours the slow ripening of the grapes. The daily sea breeze helps to clean up the vegetation cover and to have a healthy vineyard.
In 2021 we had a cold winter with a average rain, a mild spring with a lot of sun and a superb summer not to warm with just a little bit of rain at the end of September.
With more than 260 days of sunshine through the year we had a perfect weather all year long.
