A little history …
The origins of Château d’Astros can be traced back to the 13th century, when the Knights Templar settled on a fertile, farming plain. In 1314, the estate passed into the hands of the Knights of Malta, who continued to cultivate the land and vines.
The year 1637 saw the arrival of winegrowing with the very first Astros winery. At the time, the estate was a veritable living space: in addition to wine, olives, sheep, figs and even a chapel were grown here!
In the 19th century, the construction of the château confirmed the development of the vineyard under the impetus of Maximim Martin, a wealthy soap-maker from Marseille. This Italian art enthusiast wants to make a piece of Tuscany in Provence.
The estate stands out in the south-east thanks to its rare and exceptional heritage, and is one of the best-preserved vineyards in the Côtes de Provence appellation.
