Château La Tour de l'Evêque is a Provence wine estate that extends over 78 hectares in the hills of Maurettes, near Pierrefeu in the Var region.
It is certified in organic farming. The soil is worked by ploughing, without herbicides, with infusions and biodynamic preparations on certain plots, supplemented by very reasoned treatments of copper and sulphur.
The rosé and red wines are made from the Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah grape varieties and the white wines from Rolle, Sémillon and Ugni Blanc. The vinification is carried out in stainless steel and concrete vats, barrels, jars and concrete eggs.
The Sumeire family has been established in Trets, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain since the 13th century and has owned Font-Freye since 1933. Gabriel Sumeire acquired Château la Tour de l'Evêque in 1958. His son Roger and then his granddaughter Régine succeeded him. In 2011, Régine Sumeire had a new cellar built on several levels to respect the principle of gravity vinification, allowing the use of new hydraulic presses. She is now accompanied by her nephew, Pierre-François de Bernardi, who has been running the estate since 2019.
