The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Classified Growth from Provence, Château Sainte-Marguerite crafts benchmark rosés through organic viticulture, shaped in the heart of the prized terroir of La Londe-les-Maures. Here, a complex patchwork of schist, quartz, clay, and silica-rich soils gives rise to wines of remarkable finesse. The result: fresh, vibrant cuvées marked by generous, well-balanced ripe fruit aromas.

For over a decade now, the VALAP Selection Committee has hand-picked the wines of this iconic estate—an essential reference point in the Provençal wine landscape.
Wine The most exclusive cuvée from the estate, the 2023 Côtes de Provence Fantastique White is a pure Rolle (Vermentino), bursting with citrus and white fruit flavours, carried by striking freshness. Smooth and generous on the palate, it offers lovely texture and depth, refined by barrel aging—a process that brings added complexity, subtle spice, and a rounded mouthfeel. This is a food-friendly white wine, ideally served with goat cheeses or seafood dishes.
Vinification Hand harvested, cold maceration before pressing. Vinification and ageing for 6 months in barrels (50% new barrels). Fining and filtration before bottling.

Organic wine (Ecocert) in France.
