**Anselme Mathieu** (21 April 1828 – 8 February 1895) was a French [Provençal](/source/Proven%C3%A7al_dialect) poet.

## Early life

Anselme Mathieu was born 21 April 1828 in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.[1][2][3] His parents were the fourth-generation owners of the [Domaine Mathieu](/source/Domaine_Mathieu), a vineyard still in operation today.[2][4]

## Poetry

Mathieu was a Provençal poet.[1] He published poems in *[Armana prouvençau](/source/Armana_prouven%C3%A7au)* under the pseudonym of Félibre di Poutoun.[2]

On 21 May 1854, he co-founded the [Félibrige](/source/F%C3%A9librige) movement with [Joseph Roumanille](/source/Joseph_Roumanille), [Frédéric Mistral](/source/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Mistral), [Théodore Aubanel](/source/Th%C3%A9odore_Aubanel), [Jean Brunet](/source/Jean_Brunet), [Paul Giéra](/source/Paul_Gi%C3%A9ra) and [Alphonse Tavan](/source/Alphonse_Tavan).[2][4]

Additionally, Mathieu introduced [Alexandre Dumas](/source/Alexandre_Dumas) and [Alphonse de Lamartine](/source/Alphonse_de_Lamartine), two writers from Paris, to this wine.[2]
