An Exceptional Gastronomic Rosé from the Côtes de Provence

The Estate

Founded at the end of the 19th century, the Château Saint-Maur is a prestigious wine estate located in Cogolin, in the Var region of Provence. This Cru Classé of the Côtes de Provence, owned since 2011 by Roger Zannier—who has also owned the Quinta do Pessegueiro in the Douro for over 25 years—takes its name from an old monastery of which a chapel still remains on the estate. Nestled in the Maures Massif, in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, this vineyard benefits from an exceptional Mediterranean terroir. The only estate in Cogolin to hold the Cru Classé distinction, Château Saint-Maur combines historical heritage and winemaking excellence, embodying the refinement of Provence's great wines.
