At the foot of the Sainte-Baume Massif, at an elevation of 400 meters in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, the Blacailloux estate produces three lines of organic Provence wine under its appellation of origin, Coteaux Varois en Provence. Three colors, nine vibrant expressions, each revealing the salinity of the bauxite soils and the freshness of the Var microclimate. From aperitifs to fine dining, our wines are perfect for special occasions, staying true to Blacailloux’s understated style.

Our production comprises five complementary lines of organic wines, all sourced from the same hundred hectares of vineyards, plot by plot. Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle, and Cabernet Sauvignon thrive at an altitude of 400 meters on the bauxite soils of the Var region, producing refined Provence wines with a precise, briny aromatic profile.
Here are our vintages, by range:
Our Favorite Blacailloux : The “Sœurs” cuvée—Li Sore in Provençal—offers the tangy freshness of a pale pink wine accented with notes of red berries, while supporting several organizations dedicated to defending women’s rights and combating violence against women. A bottle perfect for gifting as well as for sharing, paired with a platter of grilled vegetables.

For Blacailloux, producing Provence wine means, first and foremost, protecting the terroir. Of the estate’s 600 hectares, only 100 are planted with vines, in plots scattered among woods, olive groves, lavender fields, and beehives, all under a Mediterranean climate. This living mosaic accounts for the vibrancy and minerality of our wines, as much as the precision of our handcrafted work. For over a century, four generations of the Chamoin family have carried on this legacy. Today, Valentine de Lasteyrie and her sisters—great-granddaughters of the founder—share a common vision: as winemakers committed to supporting women in the wine industry, dedicated to biodiversity, and committed to protecting the environment.
Good to know: At an elevation of 400 meters, on bauxite soils, the harvest rarely begins before mid-September and sometimes extends into mid-October. This Var microclimate explains the distinctive freshness of our white Provence wine and the lingering finish of our reds, with Aquino and Heritage offering up to 15 years of aging potential. Would you like to bring the heart of Provence to your table—from briny whites and summer rosés to great reds built for aging? Put together your first selection of Provençal wines and let the Blacailloux team guide you from one grape variety to the next. Alcohol abuse is dangerous to your health; please drink responsibly.
A few points of reference to help contextualize our approach:
Our Provence wines are based on Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rolle. Added to these, under the IGP designation, are Merlot, Sauvignon, and Floréal. This diverse blend, planted at an altitude of 400 meters on bauxite soils, gives the Aquino, Miraia, Joio, Saint-Probace, Sœurs, and Héritage vintages their refined and briny character.
Our Provence wines stand out from other wines thanks to their high-altitude terroir, at 400 meters in what the wine press calls “Var Siberia.” This highly continental climate produces significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, sometimes with a difference of more than 25 °C: the day ripens the grapes, while the night refines them. The bauxite soils impart a salinity to our wines that is rare among Provence estates.
Yes, the estate’s gift shop is open six days a week and offers guided tours and tastings booked in advance for groups of 2 to 25 people. Introductory wine-tasting workshops, beekeeping workshops in April, and grape-harvesting workshops in September round out the estate’s wine tourism offerings.
Delivery of our Provence wines in France is shipped in boxes of six 75-cl bottles or three 150-cl magnums. Shipping costs are €10, but are free when you purchase 18 or more 75-cl bottles. Orders are placed through the online store, with order tracking handled by our customer service team.
The best food-and-wine pairings vary depending on the color and vintage. White wines pair well with fish, scallops, and aged goat cheeses. Rosés are perfect as an aperitif, paired with melon-and-ham skewers, tuna tataki, or tagines with mild spices. Reds, on the other hand, are best enjoyed with braised meats, homemade tarts, and a platter of Comté or Mimolette.
The shelf life of our Provence wines ranges from 2 to 15 years, depending on the vintage and color. Saint-Probace and Sœurs are best enjoyed within 2 years of the vintage. Joio can be cellared for 2 to 5 years, Miraia for 3 to 10 years. Aquino can be cellared for 8 to 15 years depending on the color, and Heritage red for up to 15 years.
