Discover wines from Château La Sable
Our wine shop is now open! But please call us on 06 95 25 79 98 before coming, we may be in the vines or the the cellar!
You will be able to taste our range: 2 rosés, 2 whites and 1 red.
Our family vineyard is located in Provence, in the Luberon Natural Park.
The Luberon mountain gives a special climate to the surrounding plains: the differences in temperature between cool nights and sunny days, as well as the altitude, gives their freshness to our wines.
We are committed to produce a quality wine while respecting the environment. We started our journey to Organic farming in 2018 and we will be certified in 2022.
Most of our soils are sandy, hence the estate name “La Sable”.
At an altitude between 250 m and 350m, our vines, aged 15 to 50 years old, give fine and elegant wines.
Our first harvest in September 2018
After acquiring the vineyard, we have kept the best vines planted between 1967 and 1969 on a very special terroir made of sand and silt. We started our journey to organic farming in 2018.
Our first harvest was in the autumn of 2018, which was done manually to protect these frail old vines.
In the cellar as well as in the vineyard, we are trying to intervene as little as possible to let the terroir express itself.
We have now harvested our fourth vintage!
Wines from Château La Sable received many awards in the past, from national and regional contests, including a star in the famous Hachette Wine Guide.
You can now enjoy our 2020 rosé and white “le petit m”, and the 2019 white “M” and red, while the 2020 red is still maturing in the cellar.
We will be happy to welcome you at the vineyard for a tasting of our range!
