A deeply rooted family history
Château de Pampelonne belongs to the de Gasquet-Pascaud family, who have passed the estate down from generation to generation since the 19th century. Today, it is Marie Pascaud, a trained oenologist, who has taken over from her father Edgar, perpetuating the family heritage with passion and precision.
With winemaking experience gained in Provence but also internationally (Chile, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia), Marie Pascaud brings a modern vision while respecting the soul and history of the estate.
A unique maritime terroir in AOP Côtes de Provence
The vineyard of Château de Pampelonne is entirely located in AOP Côtes de Provence, in an exceptional natural environment. The plots, facing the Mediterranean, benefit from rare conditions:
A remarkable sunshine all year round.
Mild temperatures under the Mediterranean climate.
A strong maritime influence rare in Provence, brought by the proximity of the sea.
The soils are made up of nearly 80% sand, favouring excellent drainage and even ripening of the grapes. This terroir gives the wines great finesse, natural freshness and the characteristic elegance of the Pampelonne rosés.
Grapes perfectly suited to the Provençal climate
Château de Pampelonne grows a wide palette of grape varieties, some of them a hundred years old:
White grapes: Rolle (Vermentino) and Ugni Blanc.
Red and rosé grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, Tibouren, Mourvèdre and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The blends evolve according to the vintages to translate as accurately as possible the conditions of each year and the expression of the terroir.
Sustainable, certified practices
Committed to a sustainable viticulture, the estate has been certified High Environmental Value (HVE) since the 2018 vintage. This certification ensures a maximum reduction of the environmental impact, with particular attention paid to soils, water, air and biodiversity. The harvest is carried out partly by hand to preserve the quality and integrity of the grapes.
Precise winemaking at the service of elegance
In the cellar, each wine is crafted with rigour and precision:
Night harvests to preserve the primary aromas.
Direct pressing for the rosés and whites, fermented at controlled temperature.
Ageing on fine lees for at least four months, bringing roundness and complexity.
Long maceration for the reds 2 to 3 weeks, then ageing in wood.
This approach makes it possible to obtain harmonious, balanced wines, faithful to their maritime terroir.
