"A historic Provençal wine estate transformed by Patrick McKillen into a place where art and viticulture are inseparable, it still keeps wine as its underlying focus, producing organic reds, whites, rosés, and a new non-alcoholic cuvée called Nooh. For the new cellars, Jean Nouvel created two massive, bright silver cylinders connected underground where grapes are harvested and bottles stored, emblematic of how the creative work here becomes part of the property’s fabric. Across the grounds, Ai Weiwei’s winding stone pathway links older routes, Alexander Calder’s overwater steel mobile fronts the welcome center and restaurant, and Louise Bourgeois’s spider perches above water beside the glass-and-concrete Tadao Ando–designed art center; after years of commissions and aggregation, the estate opened to the public in 2011." - The MICHELIN Guide
