Domaine de La Citadelle

Citadelle, an iconic vineyard nestled on the northern slope of the Luberon, was established in 1990. It spans around forty hectares at the foot of the village of Ménerbes, benefiting from four different terroirs, varied exposures, altitudes, and grape varieties. It offers wine enthusiasts exceptional vintages, recognizable among all. Deeply committed to respecting nature and living organisms, the Domaine, certified in Organic Agriculture since 2016 and taken over at the end of 2022 by Valérie and Yannick Panagiotis, advocates agroecology and implements practices such as horse plowing, eco-grazing in the vineyards, hedge preservation, and the installation of beehives. In addition to its viticultural activity, the Domaine de La Citadelle also houses cultural treasures with its Corkscrew Museum, featuring an impressive collection of 1,200 pieces dating from the 17th century to the present day, offering a fascinating journey through the history of wine and its accessories. It also boasts a 5-hectare terraced Botanical Garden, a true delight for the senses, inviting contemplation and discovery of both local and distant flora. A true place of life and sharing, the Domaine de La Citadelle has become a must-visit for wine tourism in Provence, offering visitors an authentic immersion into the world of wine and nature, while preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of the region.
