Wine and Wonders at Chateau Sainte-Rosaline
Guest Post · Taste · Wines and Spirits of ProvenceThis beautiful vineyard at Les Arcs-sur-Argens is a must-visit, not just for its natural beauty and acclaimed wines but also for the outstanding Chapelle Sainte-Rosaline in the grounds. It not only contains artistic gems (Giacometti and Chagall) but also the 680-year-old body of the saint herself, reposing in the nave in a glass case. So who was she? The winery is located about one hour from Aix-en-Provence and well worth a visit for a dose of wine and history.
