Château Saint Roux, between Provencal authenticity, organic farming and innovation
Château Saint Roux
A 40-hectare organic estate at the heart of the Var (Côtes de Provence). A unique red terroir rich in iron oxide, manual harvest and rare varieties. Cuvees Château Saint Roux, Le Pigeonnier and Friponne.
At the heart of a rolling landscape of the Var, where Provence unfurls its olive trees, its garrigue and its warm winds, Château Saint Roux spans 40 hectares of vines grown in organic farming. The estate owes its name to the gleaming, orange colour of its soil, rich in iron oxide, a rare terroir that deeply marks the aromatic style of the wines. Here, the vine roots deeply in a living soil, offering expressive, subtle and immediately recognisable wines.
An exceptional terroir: the secret of colours and aromas
The unique soil of Saint Roux, red, mineral and warm, gives the grapes a natural complexity and an assertive personality. This identity is found particularly in the AOC Côtes de Provence cuvees, which blend finesse, freshness and aromatic richness. Exposed to Mediterranean influences, the vineyard benefits from generous sunshine, a regulating wind and cool nights that preserve the acidity. It is this alchemy that gives the wines their character: balance, depth and elegance. At Château Saint Roux, every bunch counts: the harvest is done exclusively by hand, a choice that guarantees a natural sorting and the maintenance of all the freshness.
Rare varieties and an innovative vision
The estate's originality also rests on a choice of surprising varieties for Provence: Viognier, Colombard, Merlot, Marcello and Nielluccio. This diversity offers a broader aromatic palette, allowing the creation of surprising, singular wines. Facing climate change, the estate takes the lead: it experiments with Mourvèdre gris, Mourvèdre blanc, Touriga Nacional (a Portuguese variety) or Calabrese (an Italian variety). A pioneering approach in the region, that prepares Provence wines for tomorrow's challenges.

A sustainable approach: tradition, biodiversity and commitment
Château Saint Roux is not a simple wine estate: it is a place where livestock, market gardening, beekeeping, gastronomy and sustainable wine tourism coexist. Organic farming here is more than a certification, it is a philosophy. Everything is designed to preserve the living: respect for the soils, minimal treatment, natural grass cover, short circuits, climate experimentation and valorisation of local resources. The estate becomes a model of ecological innovation within the Côtes de Provence, where terroir, creativity and modernity combine in every cuvee.
