Château des Demoiselles

The history of the Château des Demoiselles

Château des Demoiselles was once owned by the Grimaldis of Monaco. The typically Provençal bastide sits enthroned in the middle of its immense 300-hectare estate, where an avenue of century-old plane trees welcomes you.

The Château des Demoiselles has been converted into a guest house where you can follow an oenology course and enjoy its wonderful surroundings.

Since 2007, Château des Demoiselles has been managed by Aurélie Bertin.

The Château des Demoiselles vineyard

The estate's total surface area covers 300 hectares, of which 72 hectares are dedicated to vines. Château des Demoiselles produces an average of 350,000 bottles a year, the majority of which is rosé wine.

The vineyards stretch across the Esclans valley, around the commune of La Motte. The relief alternates between hillsides and plains. The soil is red clay-limestone.

The estate's grape varieties include :
- Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon for the red wine;
- Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Tibouren, Grenache, Rolle and Syrah for the rosé wine;
- Rolle and Ugni blanc for white wine.

The Château des Demoiselles vineyard is managed as naturally as possible, in order to respect the environment and biodiversity. Some areas remain grassed, and green harvesting is carried out to control yields. Leaf thinning optimizes and harmonizes the ripeness of each bunch.

The current owner of Château des Demoiselles, Aurélie Bertin, has committed the estate to a process of transition towards a more responsible development model. In April 2021, the estate acquired the wine industry's first CSR label, "Vignerons Engagés".

In 201 919, the estate had already been awarded the HVE - High Environmental Value - level 3 label, the highest grade of certification.
