The domain

Chateau des Annibals was created in 1772. The wine estate is located in the heart of green Provence. Its 30-hectare vineyard extends west of Brignoles. Directed since 2001 by Nathalie Coquelle, she has made Annibals a small jewel.

WHY THE ANNIBALS?

Château des Annibals takes its name from the legend of Hannibal in reference to the strong and courageous winemakers, who have cultivated the castle’s lands for generations. According to legend, the Carthaginian conqueror passed on the lands of the Annibals, with his elephants, along the Via Aurélia on the way to try to conquer Rome. The stone clay-limestone terroir of the Domaine des Annibals as well as its exceptional sunshine on the hillsides facing the massif of the Loube, allow the vine to flourish fully there.
