Benefits of the Mediterranean
The Fréjus sector’s openness to a maritime influence endows it with a special climate. It enjoys almost continuous ventilation and moderate temperature fluctuations. Precipitation there is among the heaviest in the appellation (830 to 850 mm annually), with a moderate number of hours of sunshine (2,800 to 2,900 annually).

Soil of every colour
The Fréjus sector contains three specific types of soil:
- Red soil that is the result of the sandy-clay alteration of sandstone and pelites from the Permian period;
- Filler soil on a Permian platform (stony red, sandy-clay, whitish loamy-clay on tufa, yellow to whitish loamy-clay on marine Pliocene deposits);
- Sandy soil that is the result of the alteration of the metamorphic rocks of the Massif des Maures
