An estate of nearly 50 hectares in Vidauban, in the heart of the Cotes de Provence, a few kilometres from Saint-Tropez.

Located in Vidauban, in the heart of the Cotes de Provence appellation, Domaine des Feraud covers nearly 50 hectares of vines between sea and hills, just a few kilometres from Saint-Tropez. Here, Provence expresses itself without artifice: cool nights, more than 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, soils blending sand, sandstone and quartz, and the mistral that naturally protects the vine. A demanding terroir, ideal for crafting elegant, precise and deeply Mediterranean wines.

For me, wine is liquid music.

Markus Conrad. The estate's lands, formerly known as Domaine de Peissonnel, carry more than a century of winegrowing history. From the early 20th century, the Rival family planted grapes then bold for the region - Syrah, Semillon and Cabernet Sauvignon - and built a reputation for excellence praised by great critics.

Blanc de Rolle

AOC Côtes de Provence, white - organic

A white from Rolle (Vermentino), the signature grape of Provence. Fresh, precise and luminous, it expresses the aromatic tension of the Vidauban terroir, between white flowers, citrus and a saline note. A wine of immediate pleasure, made to share.

Grande Cuvée, Signature & Prestige

AOC Côtes de Provence - organic

The estate's flagship Cotes de Provence cuvees. Elegant, precise and deeply Mediterranean, they reflect the house style: fair, balanced and sincere wines, born of a terroir of sand, sandstone and quartz under more than 3,000 hours of sunshine.

Indigène & Essentielle

AOC Côtes de Provence - organic

Two cuvees faithful to the estate's philosophy: to make wines you love to share with your loved ones. Fresh, luminous and generous, they illustrate an authentic Provence, far from cliches, carried by mostly spontaneous fermentations.

Pur-Été - natural wine

AOC Côtes de Provence, no added sulphur - organic

The estate's natural cuvee, without inputs and without sulphur at bottling. Confidential and demanding, sometimes disconcerting but always sincere, it embodies the controlled boldness of Domaine des Feraud, at the service of the freest expression of the terroir.

Annrosé Brut Nature

IGP Var, sparkling rosé - organic

A brut-nature sparkling rose, a nod to Annerose Conrad. Fine, taut and thirst-quenching, with no dosage, it brings freshness and elegance to the aperitif and to festive moments. A bubble of Provence, sincere and luminous.

What is the history of Domaine des Féraud?

The estate's lands carry more than a century of winegrowing history. Formerly known as Domaine de Peissonnel, they were worked from the early 20th century by the Rival family, visionary in choosing grapes then bold for the region: Syrah, Semillon and Cabernet Sauvignon. This memory now nourishes a modern viticulture.

Is Domaine des Féraud an organic estate?

Yes: from their arrival, Markus and Annerose chose organic farming, out of respect for living matter. No synthetic pesticides, a very limited use of sulphur and copper well below organic thresholds, soil work and preserved biodiversity. The estate speaks of a dynamic organic approach.

What is the dynamic organic approach of Domaine des Féraud?

Dynamic organic goes further than the specifications: fine observation of the vineyard, adaptation to natural cycles and interventions reduced to the strict minimum. Here, the vine is not constrained, it is accompanied. This approach seeks to reveal the fairest expression of the Provence terroir.

Which grape varieties does Domaine des Féraud grow?

The estate's emblematic grapes make up a coherent range: Syrah for structure, depth and longevity; Rolle (Vermentino) for freshness and aromatic tension; and old vines of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah planted between 1951 and 1978, true memories of the terroir.

What are the cuvees of Domaine des Féraud?

The range brings together the Blanc de Rolle, the Grande Cuvee, Signature, Prestige, Indigene and Essentielle in AOC Cotes de Provence, the Annrose Brut Nature (sparkling rose, IGP Var) and the natural cuvee Pur-Ete (no added sulphur). Sincere, precise and deeply Mediterranean wines.

How are the Domaine des Féraud wines vinified?

The harvest is done by hand for the whites and reds, and at night by machine for the roses to preserve their aromatic potential. Fermentations are mostly spontaneous, and only the cuvees from old vines are aged in barrels. The cellar combines concrete, stainless steel, wood and ovoid tanks for plot-by-plot vinification.

What is the Pur-Été cuvee?

Pur-Ete is the estate's natural cuvee, made without inputs and without sulphur at bottling. Confidential and demanding, sometimes disconcerting but always sincere, it illustrates the experimental spirit of Domaine des Feraud and an assumed risk-taking at the service of the freest expression of the terroir.

Which Domaine des Féraud wine to choose for your table?

The Blanc de Rolle and the Annrose Brut Nature accompany aperitifs, fish and seafood; the Cotes de Provence cuvees enhance Mediterranean cuisine and summer grills; the old-vine reds, aged in barrels, pair with meats and dishes of character; Pur-Ete will delight lovers of natural wines.

Are the Domaine des Féraud wines for keeping?

The roses and whites are designed for immediate pleasure, fresh, precise and luminous; the reds of character, notably those from old Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines aged in barrels, are able to age with elegance without ever losing their generosity.
