"A crisp rosé with wonderful freshness!"
With a pale, slightly salmon-colored robe, Lampe de Méduse rosé offers a complex and intense nose, revealing notes of strawberries and English bobon. The palate reflects the freshness of citrus fruits: a rich and round wine with a beautiful long finish.

Rated estate (2016 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
A magnificent property and the Var region's top tourist attraction, with its chapel decorated with frescoes and mosaics by Chagall, Bazaine, and Ubac, as well as a bas-relief by Giacometti, Château Sainte-Roseline is a magical place in Provence. The château is actually a former 11th-century abbey, founded by a hermit. Roseline, daughter of the Marquis de Villeneuve, Lord of Les Arcs, was the Mother Prioress of the Abbey from 1300 to 1329. She was beatified in the 19th century and her body now rests under a glass case in the chapel. Today, Aurélie Bertin deserves to be sanctified for having restored the vineyard, located near Les Arcs-sur-Argens, which covers more than 100 hectares. Hospitality is the strong point of this property and tours (with tastings) are organized throughout the year in different languages.

About the estate:
Surrounding the 11th-century Sainte-Roseline Abbey and its chapel, where the saint's relics are kept, this former vineyard belonging to the bishops of Fréjus (where Pope John XXII once stayed) is nestled among olive trees and forests, covering an area of 90 hectares. In 1994, Bernard Teillaud undertook to renovate this property, then in 2007, his daughter Aurélie Bertin Teillaud took over the estate. One of the eighteen classified growths of Provence and one of the pillars of the appellation, often in the spotlight for its reds.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 06/26/2024
This rosé comes in an unusual bottle, with a slender shape and a certain elegance. A lively, frank attack gives way to a contrasting roundness and softness on the palate, carried by red fruits and a hint of citrus. It lingers in a slightly short, airy, minty, and refreshing finish. Lacking in body and structure. A slightly expensive bottle of rosé. Pleasant without being transcendent, it pairs well with an Italian-style octopus salad on a bed of arugula. Rating = 3.9.
