2010, THE YEAR WE TOOK OVER THE ESTATE
Caroline and Philippe Chauvin have owned Domaine de La Font des Pères since 2010, in a region they've known for a long time.
Accustomed to seafood products, they created Comptoir du Caviar in 1991, which they have successfully developed ever since. After selling their high-end gastronomy business, they decided to acquire these 6 hectares of vines, aware of the potential of the terroir and exposure.
The technique is different, but the similarities between the worlds of gastronomy and wine are many, and Caroline and Philippe know how to surround themselves with the right people.
In Bandol, in a majestic setting overlooking the Sainte Baume, you'll discover a vineyard surrounded by forests, taste award-winning wines, enjoy generous, seasonal cuisine in one of their 3 restaurants and, if you wish, stay overnight.
A UNIQUE TERROIR ON AN EXCEPTIONAL SITE
History of the estate
The history of Domaine de la Font des Pères began 5 centuries ago, when Observantine monks settled on this exceptional site, where a natural water source was located.
The source made it possible to grow the first vines in the region. The place then took the name of its natural resource, the word "font" meaning "water source" in Provençal, associated with those who exploited it, the monks (Pères).
A unique terroir
Facing north, between 250 and 350 meters above sea level, the vines are planted in the direction of the wind, sinking their roots into the stony soil. The Mistral wind limits the proliferation of fungi.
The sea air tempers the ripening of the grapes. It cools the grapes during the driest months and softens the cold winter winds, limiting the risk of frost.
Bandol appellation
The second oldest appellation in France, Bandol, is renowned all over the world. This unique terroir produces rich and powerful wines with great finesse and exceptional ageing potential.
A true signature of Bandol wines, the Mourvèdre grape, is omnipresent in red wines, and more than half of the vineyard is devoted to it at Domaine de La Font des Pères.
A PASSIONATE AND COMPLEMENTARY TEAM
Philippe CHAUVIN founded Comptoir du caviar in 1991 and has developed it successfully ever since. In 2010, he took over Domaine de La Font des Pères, devoting himself entirely to it from 2018, when it opens to the public after major renovation work.
Jean-Luc CODACCIONI founded the Icadémie distance learning group and still runs it today. In 2022, he decided to return to his roots in the land where he grew up, by becoming majority shareholder and Chairman of La Font des Pères.
Chef Raphaël LINOSSIER assisted Michelin-starred Chef Jérémy Czaplicki for 10 years. Now he's cooking at the Domaine de La Font des Pères. His goal is to obtain a Michelin star when the structure allows it!
Hugo and Albin have been working at Domaine de La Font des Pères since Philippe and Chauvin took over. This highly complementary duo is responsible for the vines, cellar and kitchen garden.
A COMPLETE AND ATTRACTIVE WINE TOURISM OFFER
When Philippe and Caroline Chauvin took over the estate in 2010, it covered 6 hectares of vines.
In 2015, they began renovating the site and enlarging the winery, with the aim of creating an immersive experience for wine lovers.
Today, the estate covers 14 hectares and offers an attractive and diversified wine tourism offering that creates a direct link with consumers.
A wide range of restaurants
The "Ferme Auberge" restaurant offers a breathtaking view and authentic, creative and generous cuisine, inspired by the terroir and the production of the garden.
Admire the scenery and soak up the terroir as you stroll through the vineyards and enjoy a picnic prepared by the chef.
Immerse yourself in the relaxed atmosphere of the Bistrot: dishes to share, wines from the estate and a "péanque" game in front of a breathtaking view of the Provencal countryside.
Continue the experience in Sanary-sur-Mer, in a convivial setting at the Comptoir de la Font des Pères, on the shores of the Mediterranean: homemade dishes and wines from the estate.
