Château Saint-Jean-Lez-Durance has been producing wine since 1880, making it the oldest estate in Pierrevert. The d'Herbè family have owned their land since 1754, when it was a polyculture farm before Henri d'Herbe converted the land to vineyards. Today, Jean-Guillaume d'Herbè is the fifth generation to the lead the estate, which is now certified organic and utilizing biodynamic practices in the vineyards. Jean-Guillaume's grandfather, Jean, was instrumental in expanding the area under vine, as well as detailing the terroir for what would ultimately become Pierrevert. The vineyards are spread out over almost 33 hectares on hillsides of clay-limestone and terraces of gravel and silt located between the Luberon Mountains and the Durance River. 

The Cuvée Saint Gérard celebrates Gérard Tenque, founder of the Order of Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem, whose relics were kept in the famous commandery of Manosque during the Middle Ages. Made from 100% Marselan — a crossing of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon — without the addition of sulfur. Deep ruby in color, the wine is aromatically intense with notes of morello cherry, redcurrant and licorice with added flavors of balsamic and toast on the full-bodied, broad and powerful palate. Enjoy with ham or artisanal cheeses.
