A place already chosen by the Romans to plant their vines, managed for a few centuries by the Archdiocese of Aix-en-Provence, divided into several parcels after the revolution, the area of the Château Pigoudet is about the same since the year 1820. In the present, for more than 25 years in the ownership of the Rabe family, this sumptuous place shaped by history, was turned to excellence by Sabine Rabe and her husband, Hans-Ulrich. Today, Château Pigoudet is one of the most renowned vineyards for the quality of its products in the region, in particular for its recognizable rosés.
Nestled in the shadow of the Sainte-Victoire massif, the vineyard of Château Pigoudet is the northernmost of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, its protected designation of origin. With its 40 hectares of vines, facing south, 400 meters above sea level, it enjoys an exceptional situation that contributes greatly to the success of its harvest. Its late harvests, the last of Provence, made at nightfall, mark the two traits of its wines: freshness and maturity.
