DOMAINE RICHEAUME
Domaine Richeaume is located at the foot of the
Saint-Victoire Mountain, which is considered
one of the best areas in Côtes de Provence
thanks to the cooling influence created by the
mountain. It is owned and run by the Hoesch
family, with the father and son having made
wine here for a combined 40 years. Whilst the
rest of the region is surfing the wave of rosé
(which represents near 90% of the production
in Côtes de Provence), the Hoesch see red.
“Personally, I would prefer not to make rosé at
all” says Sylvain Hoesch who currently runs the
estate. But as some of his clients request it, he
makes around 5% every year. La Columelle is the
top wine of the estate which contains the best
of both New World and Old World styled wines.
It offers juicy, ripe, concentrated fruit balanced
by freshness, a slight herbal earthiness and
phenomenal use of oak. This is the perfect wine
to suggest to charter guests when they are after
something local and they don’t have a specific
producer in mind. In our opinion, this wine is the
Sassicaia of Provence!
CHÂTEAU MIRAVAL
Planted at 350 meters of altitude in protective
terraces, this allows the vines here to enjoy
warm, sunny days and cool nights, bringing
freshness and balance to the wines. The
château is partnered up with the Family Perrin,
one of the leading French wine producing
families. This teaming up has helped with the
winemaking, viticulture and introduction of
the latest equipment. This, combined with an
attention to detail at every stage, has resulted
in high scores from the wine critics. This estate
is also well known for its rather famous owners,
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. In light of recent
events you may well be seeing it in an estate
agent’s window soon!

CHÂTEAU BARBEYROLLES
Château Barbeyrolles was acquired in 1977 by
Régine Sumeire. This 12ha vineyard, located at
the foot of the village in Gassin, is a preserved
spot of outstanding natural beauty in the gulf of
Saint Tropez. Régine is considered a pioneer in
the world of rosé and Barbeyrolles is producing
some of the best wine in the area. With a very
natural and hands-off approach, the grapes
are organically grown with some biodynamic
sprays as well. Grapes are hand-harvested in
the cool of the morning and pressed whole –
bunch to maximize elegance and freshness –
something that is clearly shown in the glass.
Rosé 2020 26 €
CHÊNE BLEU
A beautiful estate with a vinicultural history
dating back to the Middle Ages. Chêne Bleu is
located in Dentelles de Montmirail in Provence,
near Gigondas, at around 550m altitude with
mostly north-facing slopes and well-drained
limestone soils. This allows for slow ripening of
the grapes which in turn means both maximum
flavour development and retention of freshness.
In 1993 the estate was bought by a passionate
couple (Xavier and Nicole Rolet) who have since
worked meticulously and spared no expense in
making wines of absolute top quality.
