Chateau de Saint Martin is one of the most premium producers in the appellation of Provence. Its vineyards are overlooked by a large Chateau built in 1740. The original site was a priory of the monks of Lerins, with the old cellars underneath still intact and dating from the 12th century. The vineyards of Chateau de Saint Martin sit at an altitude of up to 130 metres, and lie at the junction of two distinct geological zones, offering an unique terroir. Classified as a "Cru Classe," Saint Martin produces some of the finest Provencal Rose in the world, as well as other reds and whites in smaller amounts.

One of only 18 Cru Classé estates in Provence. It’s classic Provence rose –pale, crisp, aromatic and dry. And as you know has always been run by women with the exception of one generation. Another Bassin's direct import discovery.

One of our most requsted direct import rosés. The countess herself creates this cuvee!

Colour: sparkling with bluish highlights
Nose: powerful, evoking a field of flowers, with hints of iris, wisteria, lilac and jasmine as well as watermelon and pink grapefruit
Palate: revealing notes of cherry blossoms, exotic fruit, star fruit, passion fruit and grapefruit

A very elegant and refined aromatic explosion

“Lo Sang del Pais” translates as “the blood of the countryside” and one can easily feel the life-force of this wine. The grape bunches are hand harvested and after being de-stemmed they are fed into fermentation tanks using gravity flow. The “cuvaison” lasts 21 days with the juice being pumped over the cap during the first 6 days. The wine is aged for 6 months in large oak and chestnut barrels which range in age up to 200 years old. The wine has a bright violet color and aromas of wild red fruit and pepper which follow through on the palate with freshness and vibrancy.

100% Mansois (Fer Servadou)

Roger Labbe’s Abymes is 100% Jacquère, a variety that grows especially well in the Savoie region of France. While the appellation tolerates 10% of other grape varieties, Labbe chooses to feature the purity of this variety in this bottling.
A clean, dry white wine; tangy, chalky minerals and floral fruit flavors, it is a natural match for shellfish.
