Histoire

It all began in 1947. Jean Roubaud, my grandfather, discovered a 19th-century bastide in the hills above the Var, in the commune of Cotignac. Surrounded by a natural setting of fruit trees and vines, it sheltered a veritable treasure that irrigated the estate: LA SOURCE.

A FAMILY STORY

Papi started marketing Nestuby wine in his own name, bottling it for the first time in 1949. By the 1980s, over 600,000 bottles had been sold throughout Europe. The years went by, but not in the same way.
In 1984, a young man, Jean François Roubaud, "my father", decided to take over. He set out to modernize the business and expand the vineyard. This forward-looking approach enabled the estate to grow to its current size of 88 hectares of AOC Côtes de Provence vines.

Entre tradition et modernité

At the same time, Nathalie Roubaud, "otherwise known as Maman", puts her skills to good use in organizing the reception of the public, fitting out part of the bastide and preparing the delicious dishes she knows so well.

In 2010, after finishing my studies, I decided to get involved in this great adventure
adventure, and to bring together all the good ideas of each generation to combine tradition and modernity.
