Château Sainte Marguerite : Fantastique 2021

A precise and delicate La Londe rosé from the Côtes de Provence

The estate

Founded in 1929 by André Chevillon and built on a pre-existing winery which has been cultivated since ancient times, Château Sainte-Marguerite spreads over the terroir of La Londe-Les-Maures, a village on the Var coast. In 1955, the estate obtained the Cru Classé de Provence title, which highlights the authenticity, diversity and quality of its wines. In 1977, Brigitte and Jean-Pierre Fayard purchased the estate, whose then 11-hectare vineyard gave birth to fine Côtes de Provence wines as well as wines from the Côtes de Provence La Londe appellation, renowned for their fine expression and high quality.
