Maison Sainte Marguerite Symphonie 2022

An airy and fruity Côtes de Provence rosé wine

The estate

Founded in 1929 by André Chevillon on the basis of a wine estate cultivated since antiquity, Château Sainte-Marguerite is located in the terroir of La Londe-Les-Maures, a village on the Var coast. In 1955, it was awarded the Cru Classé de Provence label, which highlights the authenticity, diversity and quality of its products. In 1977, Brigitte and Jean-Pierre Fayard acquired the estate, which at the time represented 11 hectares. Since 2022, the Fayard family has joined forces with Pernod Ricard to continue the development of Sainte Marguerite in Provence and internationally.

The vineyard

Facing the Mediterranean, the Château Sainte Marguerite terroir stretches across 168 hectares. The soils combine a mineral soil with a clay-limestone soil. The Mediterranean climate is tempered by sea spray, allowing the organically grown vines to flourish.
