Château de Pibarnon is an icon of the Bandol region. Since purchasing the estate in 1975, Comte Henri de Saint-Victor and family have been producing some of the most seductively aromatic and elegantly structured wines in all of Southern France.

Coming from six generations of Champenois vignerons, the founder of Charles de Fère aspired to produce exceptional sparkling wines from the heart of France. The result is a range of classic French wines that entice with their sparkle and seduce with their flavour.
Gérard Bertrand designed his Cote des Roses range as an invitation to enjoy the Art de Vivre of the South of France. It draws its inspiration from the elegance of the Mediterranean coast to which it pays tribute – genuine, preserved and irresistible.

Back in 1935, a Francophile American banker whose name was Clarence Dillon, bought Château Haut-Brion, one of the five Growths (Premiers Crus) of the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. In 2005, seventy years after Clarence Dillon, his greatgrandson Prince Robert de Luxembourg created the fine wine brand named Clarendelle. The goal was to explore and develop the excellent terroir of the region, while combining it with centuries of acquired knowledge. Clarendelle wines are sourced from the prestigious regions in Bordeaux, including grapes from Château Haut-Brion, and are blended in close conjunction with the same winemaking team.
Common in Burgundy, marriages often result in combined vineyard holdings. Hélène Defaix of Domaine Bernard Defaix also runs her family’s domaine, located in the warmer Côte Chalonnaise. She predominantly farms premier cru Rully vines organically from 6 hectares of vineyards over five crus.
The Rully 1er Cru 'Les Cloux' comes from clay and limestone soils. It is fermented in and aged in French oak barrels for 18 months giving this wine a lovely texture and enhancing the notes of tropical fruits. This 100% Chardonnay wine is richer than their Chablis due to the warmer climate and offers incredible drinking pleasure at a fraction of the cost of many other premier crus in Burgundy.
