DOMAINE SAINT ANDRIEU

DOMAINE SAINT ANDRIEU

DOMAINE SAINT ANDRIEU

In 2003 Jean-Paul and Nancy Bignon, owners of Château Talbot, a Grand Cru Classé of Saint Julien in Médoc, bought the vineyard having been seduced by this majestic landscape. Bordered by the foothills of the Alps, the 600 hectare estate offers a landscape where nature remains preserved and untouched. As well as the pure, natural beauty of the site, there are many other components contributing to this remarkable vineyard, such as the various natural water sources, including the Saint Andrieu from which the vineyard gets its name, or its location at 380 meters above sea level which provides a very special continental like microclimate. More than 30 hectares are devoted to vines and 9 hectares to the production of AOC Provence extra virgin olive oil.

As Domaine Saint Andrieu lies in the heart of the Var department, it benefits from two appellations of Provence: Côtes de Provence and Coteaux Varois en Provence. More than 30 hectares are devoted to vines. The plots are scattered on terraced plateaus selected for the quality of their terroir, mainly composed of clay and limestone soil. 16 hectares of vines in the south of the vineyard produce the Domaine Saint Andrieu wines, Côtes de Provence, on shallow clay-limestone. To the north is the Oratoire Saint Andrieu, Coteaux Varois en Provence, on 15 hectares of vines which are cooler and airy with deeper limestone soil. The wines from each of the appellations come in three colors: white, rosé and red. The red wines are vinified in small volume vats for specific plot selection; they are then aged in wine barrels previously used at Château Talbot.

Since June 2017, Domaine Saint Andrieu is certified HEV by the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Based on environmental performance, HEV encompasses biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategy, managed fertilizer use and water resource management.
