Château La Mascaronne: a high-altitude wine estate in AOP Côtes de Provence
Château La Mascaronne
An estate of nearly 100 hectares (including 60 ha of vines) in AOP Cotes de Provence, at 330 metres of altitude, between Le Luc-en-Provence and the Massif des Maures. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2020, certified organic since 2016. Provence roses, white and red, precise and elegant, to discover direct.
In the heart of the Provence Verte, between the village of Le Luc-en-Provence and the Massif des Maures, Chateau La Mascaronne unfolds in a preserved natural landscape, only some thirty kilometres from the Mediterranean. Set at 330 metres of altitude, the estate enjoys a rare location in Provence: a true natural amphitheatre surrounded by forests and hills, ideal for precise, elegant and balanced AOP Cotes de Provence wines.
A four-century history in Provence
The history of Chateau La Mascaronne goes back to the 18th century, when the estate was founded by the Bishop of Toulon. Over the decades, several notable families helped the property evolve, among them the Toulouse-Lautrec family, who took part in restoring the bastide and the vineyard in the early 20th century. The estate reached a new turning point in 1999 when the American entrepreneur Tom Bove undertook a complete renovation of the vineyard: he restructured the parcels and created the famous restanques, the dry-stone terraces typical of Provence. In 2020, the estate was taken over by Michel Reybier, also the owner of Chateau Cos d'Estournel in Saint-Estephe, who decided to develop here a great Provence estate, able to produce elegant wines made exclusively from the vineyard's own grapes.
A natural amphitheatre at 330 metres of altitude
Between hills, Mediterranean forests and dry-stone terraces, the estate is one of the most singular terroirs of the Cotes de Provence appellation. A place where nature, know-how and patience reveal all the expression of the great wines of Provence.

Terroir, microclimate and parcel-by-parcel approach
The style of the wines rests on the balance between soil, altitude and the exposure of the parcels. The vineyard is planted on clay-limestone soils rich in stones: in the upper parts, the very stony soils bring fine minerality, while the more clayey zones retain moisture during dry periods. The altitude of 330 metres gives cooler nights than by the sea; this temperature range slows ripening and preserves aromatic freshness. The 60 hectares of vines have been mapped and divided into many parcels, each with its own identity: hand-harvesting parcel by parcel and separate vinifications reveal the personality of each terroir before blending. The natural ventilation of the Mistral keeps the grapes in excellent sanitary condition.
