About Chateau Saint Hilaire

The Lapierre family lived and cultivated vines in the town of Coudoux from the end of the 18th century. It was in 1935 that Jean Lapierre, then an officer in the French Navy, decided to devote himself solely to the region, mainly planted with olive trees. In 1952, Max Lapierre, succeeding his father, undertook the transformation of the farm into a winery and passed on all his know-how and love for the profession to his son, Yves Lapierre. The latter created Domaine Saint Hilaire in 1973 and became a harvester owner, driven by the desire to produce a great wine, one of those whose richness is based on the originality of the terroir. This determined love guided all his choices, from vine cultivation to wine aging. It was in 2011 that Yves Lapierre, accompanied by his two sons, Nicolas and Bruno, undertook the construction of a winery complex in the heart of the vineyard, named Château Saint Hilaire. The final phase was completed in 2016. The vineyard is located on the stony slopes of the Coudoux hill range. Halfway between Montagne Sainte Victoire and the Alpilles mountains, lies the Château Saint Hilaire vineyard. Facing south, the 60-hectare organic estate benefits from exceptional sunshine under the influence of the Mediterranean, where the mistral lulls its beneficial breath on the grapes until they ripen.
