Château de Saint-Martin is a lovely 100-hectare estate with 50 hectares of vineyards. History is prevalent there.
Back in the 1st century BC, the Romans – pioneers of winegrowing in Gaul – founded one of the very first wine-growing estates in France.
From the 10th to the 18th century, the Lérins monks turned it into a wine-growing priory, and a superb underground cellar, built in the 12th and 16th centuries, still in use today.
Since 1740, the same family of French nobility has handed the Château down from one generation to the next, and especially from one woman to the next. The only man to have been at the head of Château de Saint-Martin was Count Edme de Rohan-Chabot, a well-known figure in the world of wine. Now, Adeline de Barry, his granddaughter, the current owner of Château de Saint-Martin, wants to share that rich historical past via her wines.
One of the first major wine and olive growing estates in France
