A MAGICAL PLACE

Château Malherbe

For centuries la Malherbe was the farm of the Fort de Brégançon, planted in polyculture (vineyard and a large variety of vegetables, fruits, cereals). Our orchard and vegetable garden are a reminder of this noble past, as is the well of Roman origin, which attests to the fact that agriculture has been practiced on these lands for over 2000 years.

When there are heavy storms, the bay of Hyères changes color and turns from shades of blue to red: the clays and alluvial deposits pour down through streams into the sea.

Bearing this in mind, the Ferrari family has never used herbicides or synthetic phytosanitary products.

Château Malherbe has therefore been organic in practice since 1940 ... and in biodynamic agriculture today (Demeter certification since 2021).

Château Malherbe: two exceptional terroirs.

Pointe du Diable terroir lies directly along the Mediterranean Sea, with parcels deeply influenced by maritime conditions. Its soils, composed of ancient alluvial deposits and quartz fragments, give rise to wines defined by freshness, salinity and a refined balance between fruit and acidity.

The Malherbe terroir, located beneath Cap Bénat, is rooted in clay and schist soils. This unique combination, together with the climate, allows for optimal ripening, producing wines with depth, structure and complexity. The presence of schist is key, bringing minerality and precision.

DISCOVER THE WINES

The Vathouse

The must-see place for the vinification of our wines.

We work mainly with small containers allowing us to respect the unique character of each grape variety and parcel and to preserve all the nuances of our terroirs.

« The vines of the Pointe du Diable terroir benefit from the hydrological benefits of night dews, due to the proximity of the shore. The vines of the Malherbe terroir leaning against the Cap Bénat, benefit from abundant water in the subsoil coming from the Massif des Maures, a real "water tower »

THE CELLAR

In the cellar, every decision is guided by a single philosophy: to accompany the wine without ever imposing upon it.

We work with a variety of vessels — including foudres, seasoned barrels, concrete eggs and stainless steel tanks — allowing us to adapt aging to each wine and each parcel.

This approach helps refine texture, preserve freshness and express the minerality and identity of our terroirs with precision.

Oak is used with restraint, with no new barrels, solely to support the wine without ever dominating it.

THE TEAM

All the members of the Château Malherbe team are professionals recognized for their experience and know-how. Each and every one is not only competent in their field but but also a real craftsman in the life and progress of the vineyard.
