Winery history

The first vines in the area date back to Roman times. In the 20th century the estate passed to local families; the castle was restored by Lucien Cerciello in the late 1980s. At the end of 2022 the property was relaunched by Romain and Barbara Tchénio, who renovated the vineyard and built a new partially underground cellar to showcase the estate’s historical and viticultural heritage.

Production philosophy

Low-intervention practices, respect for biodiversity and a biodynamic approach. The estate prioritizes natural soil management, spring sheep grazing, hedgerows and nectar-producing plants to promote ecosystem balance and to adapt the vineyard to climate change.

Terroir and vineyards

Situated at the westernmost edge of the Côtes de Provence appellation, on the Roquefort-la-Bédoule plateau between sea and hillside, the estate lies between the calanques of Cassis and the Sainte-Baume Natural Park, at elevations of approximately 360–400 metres above sea level.

Awards and recognitions

Selection of the cuvée "Et Cae-Terra" by the Association Internationale des Rosés de Terroirs — April 2025; listed as a Biodyvin-certified estate for the commune of Roquefort-la-Bédoule.
