The producer of Bandol and Côtes de Provence relies on traditional farming methods without pesticides to make wine and has been ‘organic certified’ since 2021.

The Domaine has taken a number of steps to promote environmentally friendly farming methods. For example the harvest is carried out by hand and the vines, a mixture of Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Le Rolle, are planted during the winter months without using weed killer or synthetic fertilisers. Founded in 1904, the Domaine de la Vivonne near the medieval village of Le Castellet in the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, benefits from a unique terroir between the sea and mountains made up clay, sand and limestone. The Domaine, which has received many awards and distinctions for its wines and environmental credentials, was acquired by Michel Benhaim in 2010 and modernised a year later. Since then, the château has made a name for itself, producing exceptional Bandol rosés, which have been selected in the prestigious Guide Hachette. It’s cave also boasts an impressive collection of red Bandol AOP, including sought-after and award-winning old vintages dating back to 1979.
