Our estates
Like the best French wines, our estates are a perfect blend between the charm and authenticity of a working wine estate, the laid back ambience and service of a private club and the comfort and facilities of a luxury hotel.
We are proud that all of our estates have preserved their identity throughout the renovation process.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS - CSR
We are lucky enough to live and work in beautiful natural surroundings, and so it is important to us that we do everything we can to minimize the environmental impact of our estates, ensuring that this pristine environment is preserved for those that will come after us.
This obligation guides our approach to both the development and the day to day running of the estate (promotion of regional products, single use plastics, support for environmental associations such as Rescue Ocean, etc,...)
Fun activities around the CSR theme are available to our clients organizing seminars and incentive events at our establishments .
