The Combard family farms Saint Andre de Figuiere at La Londe-les-Maures organically since the early 1990s, with Ecocert certification. The estate works the eastern coastal Cotes de Provence La Londe sub-appellation across Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvedre and Rolle.
Tip: La Londe sits closest to the sea among the Cotes de Provence sub-AOCs; the salinity in the rose is the marker of the sub-appellation.
Address: Quartier Saint Honore, 83250 La Londe-les-Maures, France, Provence
Dominique Hauvette works native-yeast ferments, no added enzymes, no fining and minimal sulphur across her Cornaline red and Roucas white, the Alpilles reference for natural-leaning farming and cellar work.
Tip: The Cornaline red is the canonical Hauvette wine; the small-production whites move quickly through specialist merchants.
Domaine de Trevallon works low-intervention winemaking across the IGP Alpilles red and white, with the Durbach family practising biodynamics on the limestone north of the Alpilles since the early 1980s.
Tip: Trevallon is the cult Alpilles wine; allocations are tight and the cellar list is loyal, so visits and bottles move through specialist merchants.
Chateau La Coste's biodynamic and organic farming pairs with minimal cellar intervention, with the estate's own pages confirming the vineyard is farmed in agriculture biologique and biodynamics. Like most biodynamic Provençal estates, the wines are unfined and suitable for vegans.
Tip: Vegan-friendly white Provence is widely available because top estates skip animal fining; ask the estate to confirm the practice vintage by vintage.
Dominique Hauvette works with minimal added sulfite across her range, with the Cornaline red and Roucas white bottled with no fining and only protective sulfite at bottling. The Alpilles reference for low-sulfite Mediterranean reds.
Tip: Low-sulfite reds travel less robustly than conventional bottles; buy from a temperature-controlled merchant and drink within a few years.
Chateau La Coste at Le Puy-Sainte-Reparade is a visitor-facing biodynamic estate in Provence, working roughly 200 hectares of organic vines alongside a Tadao Ando-designed pavilion and a contemporary-art trail. The estate's own pages confirm the vines are farmed in agriculture biologique and biodynamics.
Tip: Combine the cellar tasting with the art trail in the same visit; the chai is one of the more architecturally distinctive biodynamic wine rooms in southern France.
Chateau Romanin works 58 hectares of biodynamic vines on the north slope of the Alpilles, within the Les Baux-de-Provence AOC that has required 100 percent organic farming since 2023. Dr Carolyn Sheetz acquired the estate in March 2024.
Tip: The cathedral cellar is carved into the limestone hillside; book a guided tour to see it.
