Bargemone, the new summer spot for the Aix Economic Meetings

A rooftop with a view of Sainte-Victoire. Open for a year, the terrace covering the Bargemone winery, a wine estate very close to Aix-en-Provence, has already become one of the region's attractions for lovers of sunsets to the sound of good music and taste of good rosé.

A rooftop overlooking the Sainte-Victoire mountain. Opened a year ago, the terrace covering the Bargemone winery, a vineyard estate close to Aix-en-Provence, has already become one of the region's top attractions for fans of sunsets to the sound of good music and the taste of fine rosé. Who knows, it might even give some ideas to the Parisian elite gathering on 5 and 6 July for the Economic Meetings organized in the "city of a thousand fountains" by the Cercle des économistes. With concerts, wine bars and food trucks, Bargemone comes to life in the evenings and is always packed.

It must be said that on the edge of the legendary N7, an old imperial road that became a "national road" two hundred years ago, linking the capital to Italy, this beautiful estate on the slopes of Aix is taking the shortest route to success. Because before becoming a party venue, Bargemone rose to the rank of a top vineyard in Provence. Heir to a long history linking it to the Knights Templar, whose commandery it was, its emergence is very recent. A local boy, André Einaudi, the son of a winemaker who became one of France's leading entrepreneurs with his engineering company Ortec, acquired these 60 hectares of vines barely five years ago.

His son Pierre, an actor by profession, closed the curtain on his career, trained (well) at the Suze-la-Rousse university of wine and is now directing the renaissance of Bargemone with infectious yet understated enthusiasm.

The estate's labels are now appearing on fine dining tables previously dominated by standardized rosés, and it's only right since this small vineyard is working to express an identity. The vines are managed organically, irrigation is controlled and the parcels are surrounded by small woods to preserve freshness and biodiversity. While the estate's rosés are very appealing, we sense a destiny here for the whites, whose 2023 Libre cuvée, in a bottle shaped like a rum bottle, with a majority of rolle (the rest being sauvignon blanc and clairette), shows fine energy and elegant fragrances of white flowers and citrus fruits, finishing with a slight bitterness. Everything we love.
