Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
The Lapierre family has been cultivating vines in the commune of Coudoux since the late 18th century. In 1935, Jean Lapierre, then a naval officer, decided to devote himself solely to the land, which was mainly planted with olive trees. In 1952, Max Lapierre took over from his father, transforming the estate into a vineyard. In 1973, his son Yves created Château Saint-Hilaire and became the owner and winemaker. The estate extends over the stony hillsides of the Coudoux range, halfway between Mont Sainte-Victoire and the Alpilles massif. The vines flourish on 55 south-facing hectares, currently undergoing organic conversion.
