Sustainability

Heir and guardian of a preserved terroir

For over 25 years, we have cultivated the land according to organic farming principles: manual harvesting, crop rotation to revitalise the soil, a ban on all pesticides, and strict, responsible water resource management…

“We only produce according to what the land can offer us.” Romain Ott.

Respect for the changing seasons and the balance of ecosystems guides every one of our actions. Rather than forcing nature, our goal is to work with it and enhance its beauty. This is an essential approach so that everyone can continue to admire it, both today and in the future.

Excellence is born from the balance between people, the land, and time.

At Château Léoube, respect for nature is not a separate initiative: it is an integral part of our vision. Nestled in a preserved natural setting, between vineyards, olive groves, forests, and the Mediterranean coastline, the estate thrives in harmony with the ecosystems that surround it. Every decision is guided by a commitment to preserving this precious balance and passing on the richness of this natural heritage intact.

Preserving today, cultivating tomorrow.

This approach is reflected every day through demanding practices designed to promote soil vitality, landscape quality, and the long-term sustainability of the vineyard. From resource management to biodiversity preservation, along with our constant attention to the impact of our activities, our commitment is rooted in a long-term vision. A simple conviction: the greatest terroirs fully reveal their potential only when they are respected and protected.

THE AUTHENTICITY OF ARTISANAL EXPERTISE

Committed to preserving the fertile land of Léoube intact, the Bamford family has been fully engaged in an agro-environmental approach for over 25 years.

Biodynamics, organic farming, ancestral know-how… Inspired by our head winemaker Romain Ott, our traditional and responsible cultivation methods give our wines their uniqueness.

They make the estate a key player in sustainable development, offering mainly organic wines under the AOC Côtes de Provence designation.

Certified by nature

Château Léoube’s commitment is reflected in concrete actions carried out across the entire estate. We favour short supply chains, support local producers, and grow seasonal fruits and vegetables for our restaurant. Particular attention is given to reducing waste, recycling materials, and using responsible packaging. From composting organic waste to selecting recyclable materials, every initiative helps to minimise our environmental impact. Beyond these practices, this approach is driven every day by the women and men of the estate, united by the same commitment: to sustainably preserve the balance and beauty of this exceptional place.

Prioritising short supply chains

We are aware of the impact of CO₂ emissions and strive to reduce them. We dedicate most of our fruit and vegetable production to the kitchen of our restaurant and mainly work with local producers whom we select rigorously.

EATING LOCAL AND SEASONAL

We grow seasonal fruits and vegetables that supply our Café daily during the season. For us, this means offering our guests a way to reconnect with the land, rediscover the freshness of food and its flavours. It also means preserving biodiversity and limiting food waste.

Optimising and recycling our packaging

We strive to reduce the quantity of our packaging as much as possible and ensure systematic waste sorting by our teams and visitors (with sorting bins installed on Pellegrin Beach and along the coastal path). We prioritise recyclable materials and use recyclable glass bottles, natural cork stoppers, and recycled cardboard packaging.

Acting more consciously

On a daily basis, it is above all women and men who embody the spirit of Léoube and the desire to prioritise life and the long-term sustainability of our ecosystem through their profession, expertise, and know-how.
