About the estate:
A magnificent estate and the top tourist attraction in the Var region, featuring a chapel adorned 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, served as Mother Prioress of the Abbey from 1300 to 1329. She was beatified in the 19th century, and her body now rests beneath a glass reliquary in the chapel. Today, we should honor Aurélie Bertin, who has successfully revitalized the vineyard, located near Les Arcs-sur-Argens, which spans over 100 hectares. Hospitality is the hallmark of this estate, and guided tours (with tastings) are organized year-round in various languages.

About the estate:
Surrounding the 11th-century Sainte-Roseline Abbey and its chapel, where the saint’s relics are enshrined, this former vineyard of the bishops of Fréjus (where Pope John XXII once stayed) lies alongside olive groves and forests across an area of 90 hectares. In 1994, Bernard Teillaud undertook the renovation of this property, and in 2007, his daughter Aurélie Bertin Teillaud took over the estate. One of the eighteen classified growths of Provence and a pillar of the appellation, it is often noted for its reds.
