The precision and balance of a Côtes de Provence rosé wine

The property

The Château Sainte Roseline is a place steeped in history. In Provence, it is ideally located thirty minutes from the bay of Saint-Tropez and the Croisette in Cannes, the Gorges du Verdon or Aix-en-Provence. It is on this millennial terroir that these wines, in Cru Classé Côtes de Provence, harmoniously flourish. In 1994, Bernard Teillaud took over the destinies of this beautiful property with the aim of making it one of the jewels of southern viticulture. In 2007, his daughter Aurélie Bertin Teillaud took over from her father in order to work towards a different and authentic personality for each of the estate's wines.

The vineyard

Established on clay-limestone soils, the 110-hectare vineyard of Château Sainte Roseline gives birth to great Côtes de Provence wines. It benefits from a deep source allowing to feed the vine in a controlled way. The 11 grape varieties cultivated on the vineyard have thus benefited from the Cru Classé distinction since 1995. The vineyard is managed according to the principles of reasoned viticulture.

The wine

Produced since 1950, the Cuvée Lampe de Méduse from Château Sainte Roseline has become the emblematic and historical cuvée of the estate. Representing the heart of the property's wine production, it is recognizable by its bottle with such a singular shape, the result of the reflection of the Baroness de Rasque de Laval, wife of the former owner of the estate.

Vinification and aging

The berries harvested at night are carefully sorted and destemmed then transferred to stainless steel tanks by gravity to preserve all the quintessence of the harvest. The musts are put into stabilization for 5 to 10 days before settling. The clear juices then undergo a thermo-regulated alcoholic fermentation for about 10 days. The aging on lees in tanks is accompanied by stirring.
