Château Sainte-Roseline
Château Sainte-Roseline, nestled in the heart of the small village of Arcs-sous-Argens, is both a classified site and a Cru Classé de Provence since 1955. Its famous vineyard, created by John XXII over 700 years ago, is an exceptional place where the reputation of the terroir and the wines produced here is second to none. In 1994, Bernard Teillaud took charge of this prestigious estate, and undertook extensive work to adapt it to modern viticulture, with the ambition of making Château Sainte-Roseline one of the jewels in the crown of southern viticulture. He entrusted the management of the estate to Christophe Bernard, a young oenologist and son of winegrowers.

The vines of Château Sainte-Roseline are planted on a clay-limestone terroir, benefiting from an abundant spring in the subsoil and the Mediterranean climate with its maritime influences contrasted by the Maures massif. The Château Sainte-Roseline estate has increased its planting density, rigorously selected the grape varieties and taken particular care with the foliage by trellising all the plots. The vines are weeded mechanically, and numerous manual operations are carried out at each stage. After de-budding, green harvesting controls yields (average 38 hl/ha). Thinning out the leaves then favors sun exposure and optimal ripening of the berries. After harvesting, the crop is sorted, de-stemmed and then undergoes a second sorting under the supervision of the cellar staff. The vineyards of Château Sainte-Roseline are therefore managed according to the best growing methods, and all these requirements have been implemented and applied to promote berry concentration above all else.

"A breath of fresh, exotic fruit!

Château Sainte-Roseline's signature cuvee, Lampe de Méduse is a blend of Rolle and Sémillon. Aging on fine lees, part of which is carried out in barrels, adds fatness and structure to this cuvée with notes of citrus fruit and white flowers.

"True to form, Sainte Roseline has once again produced a fine red wine. Concentrated, jammy fruit, toasty, brioche-like woodiness, sweet spices: the nose offers a good marriage of wood and fruit. On the palate, too, these aromas are well matched, revealing a powerful, rich, solidly structured wine, stimulated by a lovely, fresh finish. Built to last. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

"A dizzying nose of fresh black fruits, the palate offers deep, civilized tannin. The nicely spicy finish has style and refinement compared to our last tasting". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2013). A great wine, full-bodied and generous, to rival the greatest appellations!

"In red, the 2008 cuvée Prieure evokes tapenade and rosemary; its tannins are still a little prominent, but it offers beautiful fruit that hasn't completely switched to tertiary aromas." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2013 - RVF). An aromatic explosion of licorice, cinnamon, red fruits and chocolate...

Château Sainte-Roseline - Cuvée Prieure Cru Classé 2010

Note : Gault Millau 15,5/20
"This is a harmoniously expressive wine, with a beautiful aromatic richness and a nose of red fruit and licorice. The ageing is discreet and the palate is well balanced, with just the right natural acidity, suppleness and finesse." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault & Millau). Here's a true winter rosé, a gourmet wine aged 3 months in barrel that's a perfect match for seasonal scallops and a host of fine, refined dishes!

Château Sainte-Roseline - La Chapelle de Sainte-Roseline 2007

A great Provence rosé!

Domaine noté Remarquable Gault Millau, 2 BD Bettane & Desseauve, 1* RVF
We might as well say it straight away: this is a rosé that plays in the league of the greats, like most of the cuvées from the Château Sainte-Roseline Crus Classés de Provence. A top-of-the-range 2007 vintage which, like all the others before it, has undergone a thousand years of care and attention, lavished with know-how and passion, to bear witness to the richness of an exceptional terroir. This refined, aromatic rosé develops subtle aromas of grapefruit, morello cherry and strawberry, with astonishing balance and complexity!
