CHÂTEAU SAINTE-ROSELINE
The Sainte-Roseline castle is a very old abbey from the 12th century. Roseline, daughter of the Marquis de Villeneuve, Lord of Les Arcs, mother prioress from 1300 to 1329, made a strong impression on the local population with her generosity, and it was quite natural that the place inherited its name. Site where one of the first vineyards in France was created in the 14th century by Pope John XXII. An orientation that lasted until Baron Henri Rasque de Laval, the previous owner, before Bernard Teillaud bought the estate in 1994. Year after year, he metamorphosed it, orienting its production towards quality wines in all three colours and opening its doors to art and culture with numerous events and concerts. Since 2007, his daughter Aurélie has been running the estate, as well as the Château des Demoiselles at La Motte, accompanied by Christophe Bernard, general manager and oenologist. The red "Chapelle", red "Prieure" and "Château Sainte-Roseline" vintages, "Le Cloître de Sainte-Roseline" and "Lampe de Méduse" are regularly awarded in their different vintages and colours, and have won medals in Mâcon, at the Concours des Vins de Provence, at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris, at the Concours des Vignerons Indépendants in Saint-Tropez. A special cuvée Lampe de Méduse 2019 dressed by Christian Lacroix will be marketed in 2020. This Cru Classé estate is a real cultural bridge. It is also one of the pioneering estates in wine tourism.
