In Sarrians, at the heart of Vaucluse, the Fontaine du Clos Estate has been in the Barnier family for 4 generations. Our 50 different grape varieties allow us to propose 15 different wines under the Vacqueyras, Côtes du Rhône and Vin de Pays de Vaucluse labels. A family estate for 5 generations now, the Barnier family has seen its business evolve over time, from silkworm cultivation, livestock farming and market gardening, to finally specializing in vine growing with the Fontaine du Clos estate and wine nursery. Marie and Léon Barnier have managed to grow the business by maintaining this diversity, while always keeping a foothold in viticulture. Under the impetus of Nicole and Jean, a new direction was taken with the creation of the wine nursery in 1980, followed by the private winery in 1990. The estate has never ceased to evolve, thanks in particular to the work of Céline and Jean-François, who took up the torch in the 2000s following their studies in viticulture and management. Their first experience was in the field, when they joined the nursery team. This experience enabled them to understand and master the entire viticultural cycle, from the production of raw materials for the vine to the elaboration and marketing of their wines. The estate as we know it today boasts 50 different grape varieties. This palette, combined with the work of each member of the company and the BARNIER family, is the strength of our wines today, which are both atypical and gourmet, with IGP Vaucluse, IGP Méditerranée, AOP Côtes du Rhône and AOP Vacqueyras.

Conifers of majestic and imposing appearance, the cedars are distinguished by their bluish or silver color. These large cedars were planted in 1860 to the north of the village and extend over five hectares on the slopes of the Monts de Vaucluse. It is an important forest species, its fine, light and aromatic wood is used in woodwork or as a framework.

The wild rabbit lives in colonies in burrows which forms what is called a warren. A grass eater, it can eat away the bark of young trees in winter when grass is scarce. The wild rabbit is able to reproduce 4 to 6 times per year with 3 to 8 kittens per litter, this explains its reputation as "horny bunny". Its population has declined sharply in the Luberon from diseases such as myxomatosis or VHD (Viral Hemorrhagic Disease).

Below a limestone cliff of several hundred meters, is the village of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse which owes its name to the source of Sorgue. Kart spring, the largest in metropolitan France and the fifth largest in the world, comes from an underground basin of 1,100 km2, recovering the waters of Mount Ventoux (visible in the distance), the Vaucluse mountains, the Albion plateau and the mountain of Lure. La Sorgue, strongly protected, joined the Ouvèze then the Rhône after several subdivisions.

A limestone formation with an original topography is characterized as karstic, characterized by underground drainage which causes corrosion of the rock. Here we see a lapiaz. This surface geological formation is created by the runoff of rainwater that dissolves the rock or by cryoclasty (freezing and thawing of the water infiltrated in the rock). It is what forms this impressive rocky entablature traversed by faults and fissures.

This wall of about twenty kilometers went from Monieux to Cabrières passing through Methamis, Venasque, Le Beaucet, Saumane and Lagnes. It was built in just a few months, between March and July 1721 by 500 men, masons and laborers. This sanitary barrier had watchtowers, guard-houses, food and fodder supply storehouses. The wall was guarded by a thousand men who had orders to shoot anyone crossing the wall without permission.

Two months after the docking of the ship Le Grand Saint-Antoine on May 25, 1720 in Marseille, the plague spread, reached the working-class areas of the city to then spread along the coast upto Toulon; after passing the Durance, it reached Pertuis, Cucuron and Apt. For a better protection of the Venaissin County and the State of Avignon, two papal lands, it was decided to build a wall of dry stone of about 2m high.

In August 1721, the plague was declared in Avignon, whereas apt got rid of it! The roles were now reversed: French troops are positioned on the wall to protect the Provence. After making more than 7000 victims in the Venaissin County and at least 83,000 in Provence, the disease became extinct in January 1723 and the wall was forgotten. Today registered under the Historic Monuments, it is the subject to regular restoration campaigns.

In August 1989, the fire started from the bottom of the Oule valley located a little further north, and ravaged 338ha of forest in Cabrières d'Avignon and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Here, some islands of cedars from the Algerian Atlas still bear the scars of that fire, but most have resisted. Others were replanted in 1991.

There are constructions on either side of the wall. Regularly spaced, guardhouses (semicircular huts) were used to house a sentry in the event of inclement weather and were certainly covered with a roof in branches or tiles. The huts attached to the wall, housed the units but also the equipment and provisions. On the most isolated places of the plateau, the pens served as warehouses for food and fodder for mules transporting water and provisions.

From 1723, the wall no longer had any sanitary utility and the stones were re-used for other constructions. Since 1986, a campaign of restoration and valorization is in place through the association "Pierre sèche en Vaucluse". You can see the wall here, between Cabrières-d'Avignon and Lagnes, as well as in Murs. Today, nearly 6 kilometers have been restored.
