HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Pauline and Clément created the Gueissard Vineyard in 2010 in homage to their first plot planted in Saint Cyr Sur Mer in the place called Gueissard. In these vines, ideally located in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, Le Castellet, La Cadière d'Azur, Sainte-Anne-d'Evenos and Le Beausset, the most suitable grape varieties flourish, in the Bandol and Côtes de Provence appellations. On these 30 hectares of vines, we find this philosophy dear to the Gueissard estate: doing everything possible to protect and respect the land. The culture there is ultra-reasoned, the mechanical work limited to a minimum. No wonder then that the organic conversion and High Environmental Value certification of the Gueissard estate are underway.
