Château Saint-Esprit wines are an invitation to share Provence, a promise of an immediate pleasure. They will bring you the sublime landscapes of its countryside hills as well as to the Azure blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
Out of respect for the environment and to maintain and preserve the identity of our soils, our wines come from organic farming complemented by biodynamic practices. The winemaking techniques chosen depend on the style of wine we are looking for, but this remains always at the service of the expression of the Terroir, true wine identity.
Different approaches enhancing the diversity of our Terroir
Celeste – Fresh and Fruity
This cuvée is a tribute to the Celestial Dove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The illustration of four doves represents the four generations of winemakers who have succeeded each other in the family. The wines are ethereal, delicate, reminiscent of the flutter of wings. This blend is crafted with typically Provencal grape varieties, predominantly Grenache for the red and rosé, and Rolle for the white. These wines are a pure and refined representation of the Côtes de Provence appellation.
Nebra - Our Heritage
The Nebra Sky Disk is the oldest representation of the celestial vault discovered to date (1600 BC). Considered as the first astral calendar used for agricultural activities, in a nod to our biodynamic practices. The wines in this range come from old vines hand-harvested at night, developing complexity and character, embodying a strong identity of our Estate.
Origin
One block, one grape varietal, one colour! Return to the roots of Provence wines! With expressions of old ancestral grape varietals, and reminiscent of the Provence wine identity.
Quintessence – The Ultimate
Since the 2013 vintage, the best blocks of Château Saint-Esprit vineyard are selected to elaborate wines with complexity, elegance and finesse. Thus, the “Quintessence” Cuvee reflects the most refined characters of our 60 year old vines Mourvedre and Syrah. Searching for excellence, the wine is aged in our best French barrels. A perfect balance between strength, texture and rich and savoury aromatic structure, these wines will match with food wonderfully.
