Château Maïme lies at the foot of the Massif des Maures, where almost 2000 years ago, Russian legionnaires planted the first vines and crafted the original rosé wine. In order to hand on the legacy to future generations, since 1998 the owners of Château Maïme have renovated and replanted initial vineyards along the southern edge of famous Via Aurelia. Their domain contains a wealth of archaeological and religious remains. Its name, “Maïme” means “Maxime” in Provençal, and derives from the chapel built on the property during the Middle Ages and dedicated to Saint Maxime. Out of respect for nature, so fundamental to the winemaking activity, winery have chosen to practice sustainable agriculture that complies fully with the cycles of nature. Grass is grown naturally between the vines to allow better airing of the soil and to promote competition for water if the need arises. Jean-Louis Sibran, an oenology-viticulture graduate, manages the estate and his cousin Brice Garcia, a communications graduate, gave Château Maïme its visual identity.
