Château La Coste: an exceptional estate in the heart of Provence
Château La Coste - organic Provence wines, art and architecture (near Aix-en-Provence)
Château La Coste is an organic Provence estate, a few kilometres from Aix-en-Provence, where wine, nature, art and architecture come together.
A few kilometres from Aix-en-Provence, Château La Coste unfolds 200 hectares of organic vines among cypresses and olive trees, between a cellar designed by Jean Nouvel and the Tadao Ando chapel. Provence reds, whites and rosés of great finesse, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
Located a few kilometres from Aix-en-Provence, Château La Coste is far more than a simple wine estate. It embodies a true art of living, where wine, nature, art and architecture coexist in perfect harmony. Since 2009, the estate has been committed to organic farming, even adopting certain biodynamic practices to preserve the richness of its soils and best express its exceptional terroir. Today, with its 200 hectares of vines, Château La Coste is an essential reference among the wines of Provence. The vineyard spreads across a typically Provençal landscape, where cypresses, umbrella pines, olive and oak trees mingle among the vines. This generous nature and this terroir of clay-limestone soils and Mediterranean climate give the wines great freshness and a fine aromatic complexity. The temperature swing between day and night allows a slow ripening of the grapes, yielding wines of remarkable elegance and finesse.
