Winegrowing estate in Ménerbes in the Luberon with its corkscrew museum, botanical garden and the Citadelle bistro
Yannick and Valérie Panagiotis are rally enthusiasts as well as wine lovers. They took over Domaine de La Citadelle, a 40-hectare estate certified HVE and BIO since 2016, which promotes respect for the land with eco-responsible methods such as horse-drawn ploughing and eco-pasturing. The wines are powerful and fine; among the cuvées, those of Gouverneur Saint-Auban and Les Artèmes are aged in French oak barrels. Other attractions include the Corkscrew Museum and the Botanical Garden. And don't forget the Bistrot de La Citadelle Tayac - Cave à Manger.

The tasting experience today was disappointing. We started to taste some of the the blanc, rose and reds. As we moved to the reds we suddenly were told that she needs to charge us for the tasting because now we came to a large tasting. While we bought 5 wines, we still got charged. This is the first vineyard ever (in the last 5 years) in the whole region were we got charged. It is not about the money it is about the lack of transparency.
Although I’m a wine enthusiast I was not able to taste the wine at this domaine. I was ignored by the staff and they didn’t seem to care wether I would like to taste and buy their wine. Even felt a bit awkward and completely not welcome at this place. Can’t recommend it.
