VINEYARDS AND DISTILLERIES
1. CHATEAU STE-ROSELINE
The chateau's Côtes-de-Provence wines have improved greatly in recent times. Its
Cuvée Prieuré can age for 15 years or more, making it more than worthy of its
historic surroundings. The superb chateau and grounds host summer concerts.

2. CHATEAU DE BERNE
British-owned Berne is the region's best wine visitors' centre. The site is picturesque,
the welcome friendly, and there's a full calendar of cultural events. There's also a
first-class hotel-restaurant on-site, L'Auberge. The best wine is the Cuvée Spéciale.

3. CHATEAU ROMANIN
If the stunning underground winery resembles a cathedral, it's not coincidental. The
site has had spiritual associations since the Greeks worshipped here in the 4th cen-
tury BC. The owners aim to harmonize with this past, even programming cultivation
by the phases of the moon. The wines, though, are anything but eccentric.

4. DOMAINE RABIEGA
In a wooded residential suburb, this Swedish-run domain has an innovative attitude
to wine quality. The Cuvée Clos d'Ière is among the most expressive of Provençal
wines. The welcome at the cellar is both easy and relaxed. There are also two hotels
and a restaurant.
