Presentation of the Domaine du Carrubier and its Wines :

The Domaine du Carrubier, is in La Londe Les Maures (Var), it has been a family estate since 1974. It extends on about 88 hectares, 25 of which grow fully classified Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée "Côtes de Provence" vines, which nest close to the sea and the Maures hillsides: they very much benefit from this exceptional location, which favours a strong and specific expression in the wines of this specially priviledged soil.

Since it has been the family, the Domaine du Carrubier has been run with great attention based on the integrated viticulture approach: not only the vines, but the environment itself have received, year after year, a caring follow-up. The use of the most recent equipments togther with a strict respect of traditional techniques of culture and wine-making can be found in the Domaine du Carrubier: no chemical disbudding, no artificially added grass, but a fertilization which respects the land's own organic equilibria, together with a constant maintenance of a proper drainage capacity and a mechanical cultivation which perpetuates the in-deep rooting of the vinestocks.

Grape harvest is done entirely by hand: the grapes are first sorted in the field, their stalks then removed before they go into the vats. The musts are prevented from oxidizing using a specific in-house designed method, and the temperature is under control throughout the wine-making process. All year around, the "Château du Carrubier" wines are managed by our Oenologist Mr. Gilles Baude. Their bottling is entrusted to a renown mobile unit which comes and works inside the Domaine. The choice of the vine stocks and their renewal over time have been equally thoughtful: Rolle, Ugniblanc and Sémillon for the White, Grenache, Cinsaut with a touch of Syrah for the Rosé, and the Red is a blend of Cabernet, Grenache and Syrah.

The "Château du Carrubier" White has remarkable aromatic and fruity intensity. Dry and vivacious, it is the perfect companion for all the possible kinds and recipes of fish and sea-food. (Gold Medal Concours Général Agricole Paris 2023),

The Cabernet stocks entail the "Château du Carrubier" Red with body, firmness and "fin-de-bouche" tastes seldom found in this region, Syrah brings the spicy notes. It will match all meat and cheese dishes.
