Description
The soul of a family vineyard in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
In Cogolin, Domaine de la Giscle has been flourishing for six generations. Crossed by the river from which it takes its name, this family-run vineyard passionately cultivates some 50 hectares, combining ancestral know-how with modern techniques.
Discover Domaine de la Giscle, a family wine jewel nestled on the southern slopes of the Massif des Maures, in Cogolin, in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Located just a few kilometers from the sea and close to historic villages such as Grimaud and its medieval remains, this estate benefits from an exceptional terroir and a rich history spanning six generations.
Since the 19th century, the Audemard family has perpetuated the Provencal tradition on almost 50 hectares of vines. The estate takes its name from the Giscle, a river that runs through the land, symbolizing the balance between nature, heritage and passion. This respect for the terroir and family commitment are reflected in every cuvée, combining authenticity, innovation and know-how handed down from generation to generation.
Arriving at the estate, you'll cross the vineyard surrounded by magnificent scenery and discover farm buildings housing an old flour mill, a vestige of a rich agricultural past. Once in the cellar, equipped with both state-of-the-art technology and traditional elements such as 180 oak barrels and ancient foudres, you'll be immersed in the art of winemaking. The cellars' natural air-conditioning, automated plot sorting and computerized fermentation management guarantee optimal quality.
For our AOC wines, we cultivate renowned grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Rolle, Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Tibouren. In addition to our AOC wines, we also produce IGP wines, from varieties such as Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, which add a touch of diversity and elegance to our range.
Visitors are invited to taste a wide range of wines, from powerful, elegant reds to delicate, fruity rosés and fresh, aromatic whites. Each tasting takes place among the barrels in a vaulted cellar unique in the region, offering an immersive sensory experience. A dedicated room also features antique tools, testimony to the family's history.
Viticolement vôtre,
The Audemard Family
