The US Importer of
Château Saint-Pierre de Mejans
Wine Ordering in the USA – now available
We are excited to announce that our wines are now available in every corner of the USA!
A new collaboration between childhood friends has begun.
So here’s the story, ’cause there’s always a story!
Two kids, Brent and Wendy, meet in high school in Kingwood, Texas. Brent’s mom is Wendy’s teacher – no, let me be more specific – her favorite teacher. They keep in touch for awhile in college but then life takes them in different directions. Kids are born, careers are changed, moving trucks depart to different cities, states and countries and then wow, a few decades have passed. But when they finally reconnect, they learn that they are both passionate about wines!
And next thing you know – a new wine partnership is created, one based on trust, friendship and fun!
Château Saint-Pierre de Mejans - Since 1118
The priory of Saint-Pierre de Mejans dates back to the Middle Ages when the Benedictine monks harvested the wine on the estate to serve to their devout followers.
The Archbishop of Aix spent two nights there in January 1343 and while visiting the church ordered the prior to tear down the partition which had been built to store wine inside the chapel.
After the Revolution, Saint-Pierre de Mejans was seized as national property then sold and transformed into a silkworm farm while keeping the agricultural and wine-growing activities.
The priory is an emblematic place in the region, with its Roman chapel, interior courtyard and its vaulted rooms.
The chateau was fully renovated in 2021 and is now a bed and breakfast and party/wedding venue.
