Why it matters
The producer
Les Maîtres Vignerons de St Tropez brings together estate wines and branded wines from Provence. Each winegrower tends vines and vinifies grapes on their own estate, with professional expertise at every stage. Estate wines carry the imprint of their winemaker, while branded wines use modern packaging.
The group also operates a modern, high performance bottling unit and continues to invest in equipment. Shared bottling sits alongside estate farming and vinification, giving the organisation both individual estate wines and larger branded ranges.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The Saint Tropez peninsula is one of four Provence regions supplying the group. The others are the Golden Triangle, Cannet des Maures and southern Luberon. The Golden Triangle comprises vineyards between Cuers, Puget Ville and Pierrefeu.
The Golden Triangle vineyards are managed with sustainable agriculture methods. Its Mediterranean climate provides maximum sunshine for the vines. Across the wider group, grapes are tended and vinified by the winegrowers on their own estates, keeping regional sourcing connected to local cellar work.
