CASTLE OF CRÉMAT
Château de Crémat, producing organic wines and suggesting guided tours rich in explanations on wine making and viticulture
The Château de Crémat stands majestically on the hills of western Nice, with a superb red façade. Today, the château produces organic wines from Rolle and Chardonnay grapes for the whites and Folle noire and Grenache for the reds. The estate is one of the jewels of the AOC Bellet appellation and its wines are proudly displayed on the menus of the region's good restaurants. This privileged setting, an integral part of the cultural heritage of Nice, can now be visited.
The castle has seen a number of atypical characters throughout its history, forging its unique identity. Created in 1906 by a wine merchant from Nice, it was inhabited during the Roaring Twenties by the owner of the Negresco who received all the stars of the time in her home. In 1941, the owner Pierre Tomé founded the Bellet wine appellation, which is the origin of its notoriety. In 1995, the château underwent a luxurious renovation under the impetus of Jean-Pierre Pisoni and became a place for seminars and meetings around wine.
In 2017, under the impetus of the new owners, it was entirely refurbished with the furniture of the Ritz in Paris, including the mythical Coco Chanel suite.
This remarkable saga is told to you during guided tours rich in explanations on winemaking and viticulture; we discover at once the appellation, the castle, the cellar and the wines that we taste at the end.
The domain of Toasc, located a few blocks away, belongs to the same house and can be visited in duo with Crémat.
