SAINT-RÉMY-DE-PROVENCE

T

he Domaine de La 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.

The Domaine now offers two dining spaces specially

designed for epicureans. La Table Agricole Tayac is

open from Monday to Friday, only for lunch, and offers

a breathtaking view of the winemaking cellar. La Cave

à Manger ‘Le Bistrot de La Citadelle’ is open from

Wednesday to Sunday, for lunch and dinner. There you

will find platters to share, salads and many other delights.

These two spaces offer a unique experience, combining

pleasure of the senses, discovery of local wines and edible

plants from the Botanical Garden.

Véritable lieu de vie et de partage, le Domaine

de La Citadelle est devenu un incontournable

de l’œnotourisme en Provence.
