The story of Sainte Marguerite en Provence revolves around its winemaker, Olivier Fayard, and the brand’s rich heritage.

Founded by parents, Brigitte and Jean-Pierre Fayard, in 1977, Sainte Marguerite has become a symbol of passion and high standards in the wine-making industry. At the time, the Fayard family was living in Saint-Etienne and spent their summers in Giens in the South of France. Olivier’s parents became so attached to the area that they decided to look for a holiday home. During one of their visits, they came across Sainte Marguerite in La Londe-les-Maures, and it was love at first sight: the traditional farmhouse, the palm trees, the view over the Mediterranean, and the vines. They purchased the estate in 1977, a few days before the grapes were due to be picked. They completed their first harvest and produced their first cuvée. Olivier, having grown up amidst the vineyards and cellars, naturally joined the family business and continues to drive the brand forward with creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit.
