THE ESTATE

At the origins, a beautiful Provençal bastide in the heart of 50ha of immaculate forest… The whole is bought back in 1986 and the best grape varieties will be selected to cover 15 ha of land in the heart of the property, classified in Côtes de Provence.

In a few years, Château de Chausse and its exceptional terroir became one of the most famous estates, especially for its red wines to lay down.

The American Charles S. Cohen and his wife Clo, convinced francophiles, visit this beautiful property in 2016 and immediately sense its potential. The acquisition of Château de Chausse is then necessary for them who share a very special attachment for Provence.
A film enthusiast, Charles S. Cohen is the largest distributor of films by French authors in the United States.

The Gulf of Saint-Tropez, wine and cinema, a constantly renewed magic that he wishes to magnify at Château de Chausse.

Thus, in 2021, Château de Chausse undertook major work on the estate to develop wine tourism and improve its production facilities.
This ambitious renovation aims to make Château de Chausse a place of sharing and excellence.

THE TERROIR

Château de Chausse is home to a remarkable terroir of clay, phyllades and shale leaves characteristic of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

The vines are located in the heart of a vast ecosystem composed of forests, olive trees, lavender and hives.
The one-piece plots, arranged in a natural circus, then collect all the Mediterranean sun in summer, the dry cold maintained by the wind in winter thus conferring a remarkable typicity to the juices.

The vineyard of Château de Chausse is conducted in Organic Agriculture since 2015 in the respect of land and methods in perfect harmony with nature.The estate is still evolving under the leadership of Laurence Berlemont, the oenologist who gave birth to the first wines of Château de Chausse. According to her : « Chausse really has a great terroir of schists that make great reds. We work with this potential with very precise techniques such as hand sorting, fermentation under wood, long aging».

Rosés and whites enjoy a gourmet and incomparable aromatic personality.

THE CELLAR

Château de Chausse divides its atypical production and limited to 65% of rosé, 20% of red and 15% of white. The wines are made from traditional grape varieties (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle).
They are raised under different containers:

  • Fully temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to ensure precise winemaking and optimal aromatics in classic white and rosé wines.
  • New 500-liter oak barrels: these impart structure to the wine through the tannins naturally present in the wood. This aging process, used for the Rubis, lasts two years and imparts subtle toasted notes.
  • 600L oak demi-muids, either new or having previously held 1 to 2 vintages, in which the white and rosé wines of the Premium, Diamant, and Tourmaline ranges are aged. They are aged for one year with bâtonnage to enrich the wine and impart length and aromatic complexity.
  • A 22-hectoliter wooden vat. This larger vessel facilitates gentle, long-term extraction of the wood’s characteristics. The tannins soften slowly, imparting great harmony to the wine. A portion of our Château de Chausse red cuvée is aged here for two years.
