The estate

Founded in 1929 by André Chevillon on the foundations of a vineyard cultivated since Antiquity, the Château Sainte-Marguerite extends across the terroir of La Londe-Les-Maures, a coastal village in the Var. In 1955, it was awarded the Cru Classé de Provence designation, highlighting the authenticity, diversity, and quality of its wines. In 1977, Brigitte and Jean-Pierre Fayard acquired the estate, which at the time covered 11 hectares. Since 2022, the Fayard family has partnered with Pernod Ricard to continue developing Sainte Marguerite in Provence and internationally.

Winemaking and aging
