The name of the estate is the first indication of its long, illustrious past. Located in the heart of Provence, near routes traveled by Crusaders in the early Middle Ages, the Commanderie de Peyrassol was founded by the Knights of Templar who were dedicated to protecting the Crusaders en route to, and in, the Holy Land.
The first recorded grape harvest took place in 1256 and winemaking has continued uninterrupted throughout the centuries. When the Templars were brought down in 1311 by the King of France, who was nervous of their power and jealous of their wealth, the Knights of Malta became the fortunate owners of the Commanderie.
They remained in control, flawlessly maintaining the vineyards until the French Revolution, when it was taken over by the State. The Rigord family purchased the estate in 1870. The current proprietor, Françoise Rigord, has been making the wines at Peyrassol since 1981 and has now been joined by her son, François.
This is just what spring and summer weather ordered. Drink it down well chilled and with lots of black olives, tomato-based dishes, and fish.
Standing above the village of Flassans-sur-Isole, in the heart of the hills of the Var, the Commanderie de Peyrassol was founded in the 13th century by the Knights Templar.
Located in the foothills of the Massif des Maures, the Commanderie de Peyrassol is a carefully maintained area of 950 hectares which includes 93 hectares of vines.
Thanks to the diversity of its varieties, its varied exposure and its clay and limestone soils which are ideal for wine growing, the domaine produces three colours of authentically Provençal wines of great elegance.
