Château Sainte-Roseline - Cuvée Prieure Cru Classé 2010
Rating: Gault Millau 15.5/20
"This is a harmoniously expressive wine with beautiful aromatic richness, with red fruit and licorice notes on the nose. The aging is discreet and the palate is well-balanced, with just the right amount of natural acidity, suppleness, and finesse. " (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault & Millau). This is a true winter rosé, a gourmet wine aged for three months in barrels that pairs beautifully with seasonal scallops and many other fine and refined dishes!

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.
