Wine tasting in provence and the Var

Chateau San Martin 

 

Château de Saint Martin was established in the 18th century and has been supplying wine to fine restaurants and cellars all over the world for decades. The château nearly always has been managed by women; today it is run by Ms. de Barry. With exceptional architecture, a rich cultural heritage, and a range of refined wines, the vineyard has made an art of welcoming visitors.

Apparently they like boxed wine in France. REALLY?    In the days of the 70's it meant bottom of the barrel.  

These vines are NOT on pergolas, they are old enough and groomed in a way to grow unsupported
