Château de Saint Martin: 2,000 years of living history at the heart of Provence
Château de Saint Martin - Cru Classé de Provence, in Taradeau (Var), since Roman times
Château de Saint Martin is a Cru Classé de Provence and one of the oldest vineyards in France, led by Adeline de Barry with a regenerative agriculture.
Founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC, Château de Saint Martin is one of the oldest vineyards in France, today a Cru Classé de Provence. A medieval underground cellar, family transmission since 1740, regenerative agriculture: sincere, rooted wines, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
There are prestigious estates. And then there are those that cross the centuries without ever losing their soul. Château de Saint Martin belongs to this second category. Founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC, it is today recognised as one of the oldest vineyards in France. Here, wine is not a mere production: it is a historical continuity.
Between the 10th and 18th centuries, the monks of Lérins Abbey established a wine priory and built an exceptional underground cellar, dating from the 12th and 16th centuries, still in use today. A very rare heritage in the French wine landscape.
Since 1740, the property has been passed down from generation to generation, often from woman to woman. Today, Adeline de Barry carries on this history with a clear ambition: to express the estate through sincere, precise wines deeply rooted in their terroir.

A vineyard of balance and diversity
The estate spans 100 hectares, of which 50 are dedicated to vines: 40 hectares in production and 10 in fallow, rotation or replanting. This deliberate choice preserves soil vitality and ensures a natural diversity of aromatic profiles.
The vines, aged 30 to 80 years, sit alongside younger plots, offering a richness of expression unique to the wines.
A palette of grapes in the image of Provence
Château de Saint Martin grows a wide diversity of grapes, selected with precision to reflect the sensory richness of Provence.
Each grape is planted according to the soil, exposure and microclimate. This parcel-by-parcel approach gives birth to complex, balanced and elegant wines, faithful to their origin and never standardised.
A regenerative agriculture turned towards the future
Château de Saint Martin goes beyond conventional practices. The estate develops a regenerative agriculture, inspired by reasoned, organic and biodynamic viticulture, while tracing its own path. The goals are clear:
Reduce inputs. Drastically reduce chemical inputs.
Enrich biodiversity. Preserve and enrich the estate's biodiversity.
Fertile soils. Strengthen the natural fertility of the soils.
A living agroecosystem. Foster a stable, living agroecosystem.
The estate already anticipates tomorrow's labels: living soils, a low-carbon chain, lasting fertility and a positive-impact viticulture.
A natural sanctuary at the heart of the vineyard
Here, biodiversity is a measurable reality:
50% in vines. Vines and inter-row crops.
25% in fallow. Land at rest for soil vitality.
25% in nature. Woodland and nature reserves.
The estate has hosted a bird protection centre for more than 50 years and a Natura 2000 classified zone, with a rich, protected fauna: wild boar, foxes, herons, pheasants, eagle-owls, bats, bees and butterflies. The vineyard breathes, and this is clearly felt in the glass.
