Майсторите винари на полуостров Сен Тропе

Кот дьо Прованс · Франция

The story of the Maîtres Vignerons of the Saint-Tropez peninsula has been written alongside that of the town of Saint-Tropez itself. More than 55 years ago they created a distinctive and innovative organisational model: preserving the identity of each member while building a shared strength. In 1964, eight winegrowers from the Saint-Tropez peninsula decided to join forces to produce and promote their wines together. Their goal was to build a common bottling and distribution operation that would showcase their heritage, their brands and their terroir. In 2007, to support the growth of the rosé business in Provence, an expansion project was launched with a new 1,000 m² building for storing bottled wine, and in 2016 the renovation of the 400 m² commercial space by a well-known architect was completed, turning it into a true showroom and reception area for their private and professional clients. In 2017 the organisation made a commitment to organic farming, and in 2021 four new members were admitted. Every step draws on the know-how of their team of agronomist-oenologists: all the members farm their own vineyards, vinify their own grapes on their own properties and benefit from professional expertise at every stage, from vineyard management to vinification. The Maîtres Vignerons operate an efficient, modern bottling line and continue to invest in their facilities to maintain the standard of excellence of their wines.
