CLEFS de MILLE, Château de Mille, Luberon, Côte du Rhône, France
2025 | 90% Rolle (aka Vermentino), 10% Marsanne - Organic
Although in the Rhône Valley wine region, Luberon is at the Rhone’s south-eastern-most edge, bordering Provence. This influences their wines.
Château de Mille is the oldest wine estate in the Luberon.
Certified Organic by Ecocert. Cover crops and use of bio-dynamic concoctions for phytosanitary protection. Because synthetic chemicals are completely banned in organic viticulture, phytosanitary management focuses on natural prevention, biological controls, and organic-approved mineral treatments to keep the vineyard healthy.
This wine is bursting with fresh exotic fruit, and is dominated by the delicate Vermentino grape from a mix of old and young vines.
Nestled between Apt and Bonnieux, Château de Mille covers 116 hectares, of which 25 are dedicated to vines. Dating from the 13th century, it is the oldest wine estate in the Luberon and used to be a summer residence of the Avignon popes. Its new Franco-American owners, Constance and Lawrence Slaughter, took it over in 2018. They have led a huge building restoration and vineyard regeneration project.
“We have become the temporary custodians of a piece of natural and cultural heritage”.
