How did Aurélie Bertin come to lead the estate?

From childhood passion to running production

Aurélie Bertin’s passion for wine began in childhood at Château des Demoiselles, another family property located in La Motte-en-Provence. After joining her father in 2007 to oversee production, she has devoted herself to bringing both technical precision and emotion to each of her cuvées. Among her fondest memories is the recognition of the 2004 vintage of the red wine La Chapelle de Sainte Roseline, ranked among the top sixty wines during a blind tasting by the Grand Jury Européen alongside the greatest classified growths of Bordeaux. This achievement perfectly illustrates the quality of the work accomplished and the desire to make Provençal wines shine on the international stage.

What guides the estate’s approach to winemaking?

A philosophy focused on quality and the future

At the helm of Château Sainte Roseline, Aurélie Bertin upholds a clear vision: to preserve the richness of the terroir while producing elegant, aromatic, and balanced wines. Her philosophy is based on an environmentally respectful approach, controlled grass cover between the vines, the use of biocontrol products, and gentle pruning methods. The goal is to achieve optimal grape ripeness while minimizing impact on natural resources. The entire estate is also in the process of conversion to organic farming and holds the Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification, a testament to its respect for nature and commitment to sustainable production.

The estate is also deeply involved in reducing waste and preserving biodiversity through the creation of ecological corridors and the recycling of organic materials.

What makes the estate a destination beyond its wines?
