Chateau Sainte Marguerite

The history of Château Sainte Marguerite

The Maures terroir has been cultivated with vines since ancient times, and particularly since the arrival of the Romans. Although Château Sainte Marguerite has existed since 1929, the Fayard family only took over in 1977. Brigitte and Jean-Pierre fell in love with the place at first sight, and decided to invest all their energy into producing a quality wine.

They have since passed on this passion to their children (and their children's respective spouses), in order to continue the winegrowing tradition.

The Château Sainte Marguerite vineyard

The Château Sainte Marguerite vineyard is nestled between land and sea. Located around the coastal village of La Londe les Maures, its soil is composed mainly of weathered clay and schist. The Mediterranean climate has shaped a crystalline terroir of exceptional quality, ideal for viticulture. The terroir of La Londe les Maures is part of the Côtes de Provence PDO, with the additional designation "La Londe".

The Fayard family practices massal selection. This involves selecting the best vines from the best plots, in order to preserve the originality of the grape varieties. In this way, the rich and varied genetic heritage is preserved.

18 Crus Classés de Provence estates

Since 1955, 18 domaines Crus Classés de Provence have been produced at Château Sainte Marguerite. Since 2003, the estate has been certified 100% organic by Ecocert.
