Domaine La Courtade
Domaine La Courtade is a jewel of Provence, situated in the heart of a unique and exceptional setting: the island of Porquerolles, 1,250 hectares of breathtaking natural beauty 15 kilometers from the mainland opposite Hyères. Created in 1983 by Henri Vidal, the estate was taken over in 2014 by Edouard Carmignac. 

A true wine and art enthusiast, he embarked on a vast program to rebuild the estate and its vineyards. The vineyard was restructured, with 8 hectares of vines replanted, and the vines, already cultivated at Organic , are now grown according to biodynamic principles. Domaine La Courtade is a place for living and sharing, and now includes a contemporary art museum supported by the Fondation Carmignac.

La Courtade is a 35-hectare vineyard where the vines are pampered, giving pride of place to the Provencal grape varieties par excellence, notably Mourvèdre, Rolle... Domaine La Courtade 's island location provides particularly favorable conditions for the production of wines with a unique character, perfectly representing the delicious aromatic richness of Provence.

The vines grow on schist soils, benefiting from one of the highest levels of sunshine in France, and from the sea's role as a thermal regulator, which prevents the vines from suffering from excessive drought. The Mistral and easterly winds also bring their benefits, particularly during the grape ripening period. Organically farmed since 1997, Domaine La Courtade boasts some of the finest plots on the island, patiently cultivated to produce fresh treasures bursting with the sunshine of Provence.

"The island's pink gold!"

"Candied citrus notes emerge on the nose, with fresh almond and jasmine, all in a persistent freshness: truly, this nose is a success. On the palate, generosity dominates, without being devoid of elegance, thanks to acid and salinity supporting persistent red fruit aromas." (Le Figaro, May 2024)

"The 14 months of barrel ageing produce woody, buttery and pastry notes. Juicy on the finish, it is generous and greedy but remains on a fairly consensual profile. A wine to put everyone in agreement". (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) Predominantly Mourvèdre, this racy red has many years ahead of it!

The domaine's white wine is golden in color. Its lively nose of citrus, passion fruit and white flowers reveals elegant toasty notes. The palate reveals an enveloping roundness, enhanced by the natural freshness of grapes ripened on the island's schists and subjected to Mediterranean sea spray.

A predominantly Mourvèdre blend, La Courtade's red wine is racy on both the nose and the palate. Aromas of stewed red fruit, leather and cocoa mingle in the glass. On the palate, the tannins are marked but already well integrated. Many years ahead!
