Originating from an old Niçois family, Joseph Dalmasso, a milkman, bought in 1962 the land where he was born, 303 chemin de Saquier. This plot of land with its running spring water was ideal to grow flowers and vegetables. At the age of 14, his son Jacques, started to help him on the farm. When Joseph retired, Jacques took over the estate. The plot, due to its exposure, is also suitable for viticulture. In 1986, Jacques started planting vines for his personal use. His passion for wine kept increasing and in 1991 vines slowly took over the greenhouses; the vineyard “Domaine de la source” was born. The estate is named after that spring (source in fench) that had so generously watered many flowers under the warm sun of Provence. Since 2003, Jacques has been guiding his children, Carine and Eric, who now devote 200% of their time to this estate. The production extends over 7 ha kissed by the French Riviera sunshine.
