Woman winemaker

Domaine viticole Saint-Antonin-du-Var

The history of the estate

Coming from a northern family, mother and daughter Anne-Marie and Nathalie Vancoillie have adopted the Var, and in particular Saint Antonin du Var, since the 1980s. Originally La Bastide, then Le Clos, the land has always been farmed, but it was mainly a holiday resort. In 1998, they decided to resume vineyard cultivation and produce wine, olive oil and truffles. 

Since 2014, Nathalie Vancoillie has run the estate alone. 

Not only is Nathalie, a woman winemaker, in charge of wine production, she also looks after the guest rooms from April to October within the bastide. This is a fantastic opportunity for wine lovers to spend the night with the winemaker and gain a better understanding of how a wine estate works.

Nathalie loves to share her passion for the estate with her guests.

In season, she offers authentic cuisine, essentially Provençal, at her hosts' table.

Along with tours of the estate and wine workshops, she has set up a complete wine tourism offer to satisfy a growing demand.

The Eleonores of Provence

In 2008, Nathalie Vancoillie, a woman winemaker from Saint-Antonin-du-Var, joined the Eleonores of Provence, the first regional association of Femmes de Vin (Women of Wine) to defend the traditions of the Provencal heritage.

Land and vines

7 hectares of vines, part of which are goblet planted and part trellised, on a clay-limestone terroir. 
20 plots located at 300 meters, with cold, harsh winters and hot summers.
8 grape varieties: Syrah, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Merlot, Cinsault and Rolle.

The majority of parcels are in the Côtes de Provence Appellation d'Origine.

Since 2021, the estate has been certified organic by ECOCERT.

Le Clos benefits from remarkable biodiversity, with the presence of olive and truffle oaks, whose produce completes the estate's offer.

Since 2022, the wines have been vinified without inputs, except a minimal dose of sulphur at bottling for certain cuvées. These are organic wines.

Agriculture Biologique

The climate 

Plenty of sunshine but wind that protects the Domaine from disease.
Hot summers and cold winters....and yes, the thermometer dips below zero on winter nights and sometimes during the day.
High day/night temperature amplitude (18° to 20°) keeps the grapes fresh. For some years now, we've been missing the rain.
