"A crisp, fresh rosé!"
Pale, slightly salmon-colored, Lampe de Méduse Rosé offers a complex, intense nose, revealing notes of strawberry and English bobon. On the palate, the freshness of citrus fruit is echoed: a full, round wine with a long finish.

Côtes de Provence
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Estate rated (2016 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Château Sainte-Roseline is a magnificent property and the Var's leading tourist attraction, with its chapel decorated with frescoes and mosaics by Chagall, Bazaine and Ubac, and a bas-relief by Giacometti. It's a magical place in Provence. The château is in fact an 11th-century abbey founded by a hermit. Roseline, daughter of the Marquis de Villeneuve, Seigneur des Arcs, was Mother Prioress of the Abbey from 1300 to 1329. She was beatified in the 19th century, and her body now lies beneath a glass flask in the chapel. Today, Aurélie Bertin should be sanctified, for she has restored the vineyard, located near Les Arcs-sur-Argens, which covers over 100 hectares. Hospitality is the property's strong point, and tours (with tastings) are organized throughout the year, in a variety of languages.

About the domain :
Surrounding the 11th-century abbey of Sainte-Roseline, and its chapel where the saint's relics rest, this former vineyard of the bishops of Fréjus (where Pope John XXII stayed) stands alongside olive trees and forests on a 90-hectare estate. In 1994, Bernard Teillaud undertook the renovation of the property, and in 2007, his daughter Aurélie Bertin Teillaud took over the estate. One of the eighteen crus classés in Provence and one of the pillars of the appellation, it is often noted for its reds.

About the domain :
Since 1994, Bernard Teillaud, a property developer from Grenoble, has invested a large part of his fortune in creating Sainte-Roseline, a unique setting in Les Arcs-sur-Argens. The 93-hectare vineyard produces beautifully crafted wines in several levels of cuvée: Lampe de Méduse, Prieure and finally La Chapelle, in whites, rosés and reds. The domaine also offers a wide range of vins de négoce. For the past ten years, Aurélie Teillaud has been at the helm of Sainte-Roseline, which she continues to develop and promote worldwide. The latest vintages show that the estate is maintaining its high standards, and is now one of Provence's best-selling estates. The Teilaud family also owns Château des Demoiselles, in La Motte.

About the wine:
A delicious, lively, crisp rosé with a nose of sour cherries, red berries and warm spices, which follows through to a medium body with lots of delicious fruit character. Sweet and comforting. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 26/06/2024
This rosé comes in an atypical bottle, with a long, elegant style. A lively, straightforward attack gives way to a palate of contrasting roundness and softness, carried by red fruit and citrus zest. The finish is a little short, airy, minty and refreshing. Little body, no real structure. A slightly expensive bottle of rosé. Pleasant without being transcendent, it can be enjoyed with an Italian-style octopus salad on a bed of arugula. Score = 3.9.
