About
Vines have been cultivated here for over 2,000 years. To the east of the vineyard, archaeologists unearthed a Roman wine estate dating back to the 1st century BC. It was in the late 1960s that Vignelaure took on its current appearance.
Created in 1960 by Georges Brunet (owner of Château La Lagune), Château Vignelaure is characterized by the production of long-aging red wines, blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, fruity rosés and fresh and aromatic whites.
Located between 350 and 480m altitude at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain northeast of Aix en Provence, the property covers 280 hectares including 55 hectares of planted vines and benefits from a particular microclimate.
Our specific features:
- historic estate of the appellation, pioneer in the planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in Provence (average age of the vineyard 30 years)
- a cool and late sector which allows for the production of complex red wines with long aging potential (availability of old vintages), excellent rosé wines (medals at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris) and certified organic white, red and rosé wines.
- links between art and wine (contemporary art gallery in the underground cellars, label of Page de Vignelaure designed by Yves Saint Laurent)
