The Story
Château Gairoird is located in Provence, Cuers, twenty kilometers away from Toulon and the sea, halfway between Marseille and Saint-Tropez. Built in 1734, the Château stands in a green oasis, with an abundant source. Olivier de Pierrefeu, fourth generation of winemakers, excels at producing Côtes-de-Provence organic wines. Renowned for the high quality of the grapes that come from it, this superb terroir is the signature of Château Gairoird, where 100% of the grapes are grown organically since 2005. The vineyard of 45 hectares is located on what is called the "Gold Triangle" of Provence, due the terroir composed of a red clay mixed with limestone pebbles that form the famous gavroches.
