Château des Annibals

Overview

Estate

Located in the hills of Provence Verte near the town of Brignoles, Château des Annibals is a historic estate shaped by centuries of agriculture and winemaking. The vineyards lie along the route of the ancient Via Aurelia and are surrounded by traces of Roman villas that once dotted the region. At the center of the property stands a vaulted cellar dating back to the 12th century, reflecting the long agricultural history of this part of Provence.

Climate

Warm Mediterranean days are balanced by cooler nights, a defining feature of the Côteaux Varois en Provence appellation that helps preserve freshness and aromatic precision in the wines.

Soil

The vineyards sit at roughly 820 feet elevation on clay-limestone soils in the heart of the Côteaux Varois en Provence plateau. Parcels are bordered by woods, garrigue, and small streams, creating a naturally diverse vineyard environment.

Cultivation

Annibals is certified organic, and vineyard work focuses on maintaining biodiversity and the ecosystem's natural balance. The team farms each parcel carefully to preserve the site's identity while producing grapes that balance ripeness and freshness.

Winery

In the cellar, Nathalie favors gentle extraction and temperature-controlled fermentations in stainless steel and concrete. Wines typically age for several months in tank before bottling, preserving the purity of fruit and the mineral freshness that defines the Annibals' style.

Family

The estate is led by Nathalie De Wuf Coquelle and her husband Henri de Wulf, who purchased Annibals in 2001 and committed themselves to guiding the next chapter of the domaine while preserving its historic character. Working with a small, experienced team, they farm approximately forty hectares of vines spread across a mosaic of small parcels typical of historic Provençal agriculture.
