Slipping through time’s narrow passage, we find ourselves on Rue Basse Sainte-Philomene. This street whispers a tale connected to a domaine, not directly on this street, but linked by a shared name: Sainte Philomène. The Domaine Sainte Philomène, located in the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, draws its name from the early Christian martyr, Saint Philomena. While Rue Basse Sainte-Philomene holds its own unique history within Marseille, the domaine offers a fascinating glimpse into the legacy of the saint. The de la Perrière family revitalized the domaine in 2005. They expanded the vineyards and nurtured the ancient olive groves. Today, Geoffroy de la Perrière leads the winemaking, blending tradition with innovation. The wines, though, bear family names: Valentino, Philippine, and Adèle. Each bottle tells a story, just like Rue Basse Sainte-Philomene here in Marseille. The domaine’s history is woven into the very fabric of Provence, a testament to family ties and dedication to their craft. Back on Rue Basse Sainte-Philomene, we can almost taste the sun-drenched grapes and the rich olive oil of the domaine, a sensory echo of a name shared across the region.
