Learn more about Château de Berne wines

Berne Castle and its wine estate.

Well known for its rosé wines, Provence is much less known for the diversity of its terroirs. Just forthe Côtes de Provence appellation, there are no less than six large areas which can be distinguished from east to west.

Among them, the terroir of Château de Berne is located in the Haut-Pays region, made up of limestone hills and valleys. This is the inland Provence, little-known and secret, which offers structured red wines and delicate white and rosé wines.

Covering an area of 175 hectares, the vineyard is located on the Triassic plateau which rests on a limestone base from the Middle and Lower Jurassic.

The estate is protected by 800 hectares of forest. The cool nights of the Haut-Var ensure slow and optimal ripening of the grapes. While the rosés mature later, they are structured wines with good body that are particularly well suited to pairings.food & winefrom the kitchen
