Château de Montfrin

Situated on the most eastern costières and the most southern coasts of the Rhône, between Mont Ventoux and Pic Saint-Loup, the Château de Montfrin is one of the few to produce 3 appellations with origin: Côtes du Rhône Villages, Côtes du Rhône, Costières de Nîmes and 2 Protected Geographical Indications: Coteaux du Pont du Gard and Pays d'Oc Jean-René de Fleurieu cultivated 50 hectares of mixed farming inherited from his family. With Benjamin Béguin, they have been redrawing the contours of the farm for the last 20 years, favouring the vineyards and olive groves, bringing them up to 70 hectares of olive trees and 95 hectares of vines, managed in organic farming. Today, they present 13 cuvées and 3 olive oils in a modest manner.

Our story

The "Grande Maison" of the Château de Montfrin is a beautiful house with a rich and distant past. It lives in the middle of the village that it once protected. Famous people have passed through here, François d'Assise the protector of animals, Saint Louis, Louis XIII and Molière, for the most famous. In the cellar, a maxim accompanies us: "We all live under a legendary sky and forget it at every moment". The farm is structured around two entities: the Domaine des Captives for viticulture and wine making, and the Moulin des Ombres for olive oil. As a result of acquisitions, exchanges and transfers, it is composed of approximately 200 hectares, half of which are vineyards, the other half olive trees and arable land. Today, Benjamin Béguin, associate manager, is responsible for the future of the company.
