Our commitments
Rooted in the heart of crystalline Provence, one of the region’s oldest geological formations, our vineyard draws its identity from a singular soil where schist, sandstone, and quartz shape the character of our wines. This exceptional terroir enjoys a privileged microclimate, where the constant dialogue between the Mistral wind and sea breezes provides natural ventilation, purifying the soils and fostering optimal grape ripening.
Mindful of this rich ecosystem, we have placed all living things at the heart of our vision. For several years, Château Galoupet has partnered with local and international specialists in geology, oenology, regenerative viticulture, agroforestry, beekeeping, biodiversity, landscape design, and environmental infrastructure. In 2026, Château Galoupet is among only 40 wine estates worldwide to hold the Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) certification, one of the most stringent standards in regenerative agriculture. This shared expertise enables us to act with precision to regenerate biodiversity, turning every plot into a true sanctuary where the vines thrive in symbiosis with restored nature.
In partnership with the Conservatoire d'Espaces Naturels de Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, we identify all species present across the estate to develop a long-term action plan. Our goal is to preserve a natural balance and create a true sanctuary for Provençal biodiversity.
CEN PACA
A sustainable ecosystem cannot thrive without the world’s most precious pollinator. In partnership with the Observatoire Français d’Apidologie, we are building a true sanctuary for bees.
OFA
The Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux is the leading nature conservation organisation in France. Together, we build bridges between the biodiversity of our protected woodlands and that of our vineyard.

Faced with Mediterranean rainfall, infrequent yet intense, we deploy a comprehensive water strategy based on regenerative hydrology: slow, spread, sink, and store. To combat erosion and wildfire risks, we transform our soils into "sponges" through agroforestry, cover crops, and subsoiling, encouraging deep infiltration. This approach is complemented by precision management, including smart drip irrigation using stepped contour systems, closed-loop circuits in the cellar, and the restoration of a historic 35,000 m³ reservoir dedicated to rainwater harvesting. From trial plots to the estate’s 150 hectares, every feature (swales, ponds, and reforestation) aims to secure our resources while enriching biodiversity. The ultimate goal: to achieve full water self-sufficiency over time.
To restore our ecosystem's balance, we integrate trees and plants directly into the vineyard. Through agroforestry, we are planting 27 native tree and shrub species to create ecological corridors that restore the natural food chain and protect our grapes. In addition, the annual sowing of cover crops, such as mustard, rye, or field pea, serves as a natural green manure between our vine rows. This plant synergy enriches the soil, combats erosion, and stimulates microbial life, allowing the roots to draw nutrients more effectively for the development of our cuvées.
Firmly focused on the future, we continue research and experimentation as part of our organic winemaking and beyond. In response to climate change, which brings higher temperatures and earlier harvests, we conduct trials and tests across one hectare. Our team evaluates climate- and drought-resistant varieties, such as Calabrese, Agiorgitiko, and Moschofilero, in partnership with the Syndicat des Côtes de Provence and the Centre du Rosé.
