“True to form, Sainte Roseline has once again produced a beautifully crafted red wine. With jammy, concentrated fruit, toasty and brioche-like oak, and sweet spices, the nose offers a fine balance of oak and fruit. These aromas also come together beautifully on the palate, where we discover a powerful, rich, and solidly structured wine, enlivened by a lovely, refreshing finish. Built to last.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16,5/20 + Favorite (Reference wine)

Rated estate (2016 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Powerful and elegant, with a rich, spicy intensity—this wine really comes into its own once it’s been decanted.

About the estate:

A magnificent estate and the top tourist destination 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 remains now rest 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 more than 100 hectares. Hospitality is the hallmark of this estate, and guided tours (with tastings) are organized year-round in various languages.

About the wine:

True to form, Sainte Roseline has once again produced a beautifully crafted red wine. With jammy, concentrated fruit, toasty and brioche-like oak, and sweet spices, the nose offers a harmonious blend of oak and fruit. These aromas also come together beautifully on the palate, where the wine reveals itself to be powerful, rich, and solidly structured, enlivened by a lovely, refreshing finish. Built to last.

About the estate:

Surrounding the 11th-century Sainte-Roseline Abbey and its chapel, where the saint’s relics rest, this former vineyard of the bishops of Fréjus (where Pope John XXII once stayed) lies alongside olive groves and forests, covering 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. It is one of Provence’s eighteen classified wines and a cornerstone of the appellation, often recognized for its reds.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated Estate (2016 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

The 2012 La Chapelle Rouge is less concentrated than the highly acclaimed 2011. It has a fruitier character and smoother tannins, making it easier to drink. It will be best enjoyed over the next ten years or so.

About the estate:

Since 1994, Bernard Teillaud, a real estate developer from Grenoble, has invested a large portion of his fortune in creating a unique setting in Sainte-Roseline, Les Arcs-sur-Argens. The 93-hectare vineyard produces beautifully crafted wines available in several cuvée tiers: Lampe de Méduse, Prieure, and finally La Chapelle, in white, rosé, and red varieties. The estate also offers a wide range of merchant wines. For the past ten years, Aurélie Teillaud has managed Sainte-Roseline with great energy and determination, continuing to develop the estate and promote it around the world. The estate’s most recent vintages demonstrate that it maintains a high standard and ranks among Provence’s most reliable choices. The Teillaud family also owns Château des Demoiselles in La Motte.
