"The 2014 rosés are of good quality, with a modern and accessible style. Prieuré gains in density on the palate while displaying a fine acidity on the finish, giving it a broad freshness." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
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.

Rated estate (2016 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
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.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Very good)
About wine:
A succulent wine, with a slight bitterness that flavors the structure, which is mainly focused on white fruits (peach, nectarine). With its sustained aromatic power, the wine lingers on the palate.

The 93-hectare vineyard produces beautifully crafted wines in several different categories: Lampe de Méduse, Prieure, and La Chapelle, in white, rosé, and red. The estate also offers a wide range of wines for sale.

The latest vintages show that the estate is maintaining a high standard and is one of Provence's sure values. The Teilaud family also owns Château des Demoiselles in La Motte.
