Overlooking the medieval village of Grimaud, Chateau Saint-Maur is one of only a handful of Provence wine estates to hold the distinction of Cru Classe. Fifteen hectares of pristine vineyards and grounds unfold around the chateau, taking in fruit orchards, a terraced English garden and a covered winter garden. This is a place with genuine history, and a rare sense of arrival.
At the heart of the estate stands the eight-bedroom chateau, exquisitely renovated so that classical and contemporary styles sit in easy conversation. The interiors are arranged around a collection of more than sixty masterpiece artworks, giving the house the atmosphere of a private gallery as much as a home. Across 3,500 square metres of living space, the chateau offers a stunning kitchen, three separate living rooms and two dining rooms, room enough for a large party to gather or scatter as the mood takes them.
The estate is made for both indulgence and celebration. Wellness spa facilities invite slow mornings, while a Gentleman’s Club and a wine cellar speak to quieter evenings among good company. When the occasion calls for it, a private nightclub complete with bar, DJ booth and dancefloor turns the night into something memorable. Outside, the pool, gardens and vineyard views frame days that move at their own considered pace.
Chateau Saint-Maur suits those seeking scale, privacy and a true sense of place, whether for a milestone celebration or simply a summer to remember. There is a tennis court for the mornings and a hammam for the end of the day, and the vineyard is always there to walk. Some meetings, after all, are better held among the vines.
