Château Saint-Maur
4.2/5See the 12 reviews
A true jewel of Provence, nestled at the foot of the village of Grimaud, in the commune of Cogolin, the Château Saint-Maur Cru Classé extends over 60 hectares of vines in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Acquired in 2012 by Roger Zannier, famous in the children's clothing sector, (creator of the Z brand, Tartine & Chocolat ...) he has turned the vineyard of Saint-Maur (patron saint of Cogolin) through a comprehensive modernization program. A new-generation, high-performance winery was built from the ground up to achieve the level of excellence desired by Marc Monrose, General Manager, and Patrick Galliano, Operations Manager.
Built on 3 levels, inspired by Zannier's other estate in Portugal, Quinta do Pessegeiro, this type of equipment preserves the integrity of the grapes and juices, flowing naturally from one level to the next to finish fermentation 10 meters below ground in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks. Harvesting is carried out at night, as the summer climate is very hot, allowing us to preserve all the fruit and freshness of the grapes once they have reached the right degree of ripeness.
Château Saint-Maur produces mostly rosé, with a range of 3 Cru Classé rosé wines: Saint M, the estate's signature cuvée Excellence rosé, and the confidential cuvée Capelune, a 12-hectare winery located in the heights of the appellation at 449 meters. The grape varieties are Syrah, Grenache, Tibouren, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rolle, Clairette and Ugni blanc.
The estate will soon be home to the hotel business in the renovated former wine storehouse.

The estate's flagship cuvée, Excellence rosé delivers substance and freshness in a complex rosé that's ready for the table. Powerful, charming aromas, with exotic and citrus notes, express themselves in a generous, elegant palate. The slightly mineral finish brings vivacity and saline length.

"This is the traditional cuvée from the domaine, located west of Saint-Tropez. A touch of pepper adds an attractive spicy touch to the lively, ripe fruit. A ready-to-drink wine." (Wine Enthusiast 2019) A rosé to share!
