Creative
Domaine Sainte Marie doesn't fit neatly into any category, and that's exactly what makes it worth the drive. Forty hectares of organic and biodynamic vines in the hills behind Bormes-les-Mimosas, scattered with contemporary art, grazing donkeys and sheep, and a creative spirit you don't often find at a wine estate.
A vineyard that thinks like a gallery
The wines, rosé, red and white, are organic and biodynamic, but the visit is about more than tasting: art installations among the vines, animals underfoot, and the sense that someone here is genuinely having fun. It makes for one of the most original afternoons in the region.
