La Maison | Château Constantin

## Space

At Château Constantin, you enter an estate steeped in history, in the heart of the Luberon. Here, stone and light compose a soothing setting—amid vineyards, olive groves, and forest—where the Provençal art of living meets winemaking expertise. The balance between respect for nature and winemaking tradition is felt at every moment: a serene environment, perfect for getting together.
Your stay is punctuated by true moments of relaxation thanks to the estate’s facilities: a swimming pool for unwinding, a boulodrome for friendly pétanque matches, a ping-pong table, and a tennis court for sports enthusiasts. The 20 hectares of forest overlooking the château and the vines invite you to stroll and encounter local wildlife. Every moment here feels like a timeless interlude—an invitation to slow down and savor Provence.

🏫 The Bastide comprises two independent accommodations, each with its own entrance: La Petite Bastide and La Maison. The property can be rented in its entirety or separately; in the latter case, the outdoor areas are shared. Please note that access to Château Constantin involves several steps.

🏡 La Maison hosts 2 to 6 guests. Its private entrance is located next to the tasting room. From the hall, access a laundry area and a fitness room—equipped notably with two bikes—which opens to the outdoors. An internal staircase then leads to a bright living space combining an open-plan kitchen, dining area (table for six), and lounge with views over the pool; a separate WC completes this level.
🛌 On the same floor, the Patio bedroom (queen-size bed) has its own private shower room, while the Blue bedroom (queen-size bed) benefits from an adjoining bathroom. On the top floor, a loft under the eaves offers a queen-size bed and an open bathroom.

☀️ The outdoor areas shared between the two accommodations (or for guests renting the entire Bastide) center around a 13 × 6 m pool (depth 1.40 m to 2.40 m, diamond tip), unheated and secured by an audible alarm. It is bordered by parasols, loungers, and deckchairs, complemented by a hammock and a large outdoor dining table. A Weber gas barbecue is available, as well as a pétanque court, a ping-pong table, and various sports equipment.

❄️ Finally, a heat-pump cooling and heating system is available in all rooms of the Bastide, ensuring optimal comfort in every season.

## Access

At 1.4 km from the center of Lourmarin (15–20 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car), Château Constantin enjoys a rare setting: peaceful, surrounded by vines, olive trees, and hills, yet just moments from the terraces, boutiques, galleries, and heritage of Lourmarin one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. At day’s end, sunsets over the vineyard are particularly magical.

A defining chapter: the Chevalier family. In the early 1990s, the Chevaliers undertook a true renaissance of the estate: restoring old vines, expanding plots, planting new ones, selecting grape varieties, and creating a modern winemaking cellar in the original buildings. Hand harvesting, careful sorting, stainless-steel vats, and precise aging laid the foundations for today’s quality as shown in period photos.

In spring 2016, Anne-Marie and Daniel, together with their daughters Camille and Mathilde, in turn fell under the spell of Château Constantin. Originally from Marseille and from a family of fruit growers, they chose to reconnect with nature and bring this wine estate back to life. Daniel, a pharmacist, and Anne-Marie, a former L’Oréal executive, embraced the challenge of a demanding career change, rehabilitating the vineyard with respect for nature and tradition. Convinced that wine quality is born in the vineyard, they converted the estate to organic farming. In 2020, Camille took over management of the cellar, achieving an initial organic certification and launching a range of natural wines—a key milestone in the château’s story, which today spans 20 hectares of vines, forest, and olive grove.

🚜 In September, you can enjoy an immersive experience during the harvest, which lasts around three weeks, right from the Bastide. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the winemaking process. During this period, machinery may operate day and night and occasionally generate noise; your understanding enables the teams to work efficiently and safely a guarantee of wine quality.

🍷 The winery and tasting room are on site with a separate entrance: tours and tastings are available by appointment summer, Monday to Saturday, 10:00–13:00 and 14:30–18:30; winter, Monday to Friday, 10:00–17:00—to discover the soul of Château Constantin, its methods, and its cuvées, right by the vines. The tasting room is closed during the Christmas holidays.
