About Winery and Wines
The lands of the Domaine then belonged to the Monastère de la Verne, located a little higher in the Massif des Maures. In 1884, a terrible Cholera epidemic falls on the region and miraculously stops on our field. The inhabitants of the hamlet decided to build a statue of the Virgin Mary to thank her.
Even today, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and oaks, the statue of the virgin leaves almost affectionately his benevolence on the estate and its buildings. Several generations of winemakers have followed one another to highlight this terroir and produce high quality wines. In 2007, the Duburcq family acquired the estate and has since managed it.
The Sainte Marie vineyard covers 40 hectares. Exposed south, the soil consists of a sandy and permeable soil. It is largely composed of schists, micaschists and white quartz. The slopes are quite soft. The vines enjoy a hot and dry climate in summer. The nights are cool in summer and winter. A vegetal cover is maintained as long as possible and its maintenance is provided primarily by the passage of sheep. The vines ere grouped in the middle of a great forest made of cork oaks, pines, arbutus, heather …
More than 10 varieties of grapes are grown: Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Mourvèdre,Muscat, Tiburen, Clairette, Rolle, Ugni-Blanc. The average age of the vines is 35 years old.
