A new chapter: Maurel Frères becomes owner of Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze
Maurel Frères is proud to announce the acquisition of Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze, a gem of a vineyard nestling in the heart of the Haut-Var region, renowned for its exceptional rosés, remarkable terroir and commitment to sustainable viticulture.
A new stage in the continuity of our family history, carried on by Marc, Jules and Valentin Maurel, representatives of the 8ᵉ and 9ᵉ generation of Château d’Astros. Under the name SJV Maurel Frères, we are committed to preserving the soul of the estate while driving forward a modern and ambitious vision.
A heritage to respect, a future to build
After a decade of transformation led by visionary entrepreneur William Chase, the estate is entering a new era. We will continue the work that has already begun, focusing on :
Respect for the estate’s identity and historical heritage
Strengthening sustainable and responsible practices
The international influence of its vintages through our sales network
Developing wine tourism and immersive experiences for local and international customers
A shared ambition
Guillaume Harel, Europe/UK Director of Maurel Frères, expresses this desire to promote the estate’s wines alongside Selladore en Provence and The Lunar Collection Rosé.
We look forward to welcoming you to the estate and helping you discover the richness of its wines, terroir and history.
