Brand story
Château Roubine
Château Roubine is one of the oldest wine estates in Provence, its vineyard crossed by the Roman Via Julia and documented since the early 14th century, when it belonged to the Order of the Templars before passing to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in 1307. In 1955 it was named one of only twenty-three Crus Classés of the Côtes de Provence, and since 1994 it has been owned by Valérie Rousselle, who has carried the estate into its modern chapter. Its Templar coat of arms — the Dragon of Draguignan and the Lion of Lorgues beneath the Provençal sun — still tells that story.
Set in a single block between the Verdon and the Mediterranean and ringed by pine and oak, the 130-hectare property farms 72 hectares of vines on clay-limestone soils, with an ideal east–west exposure and the natural drainage that gives the estate its name (“roubine” is Provençal for stream). Certified since 2017, Roubine’s sustainable viticulture underpins the Cuvée Premium Rosé: a blend of 55% Grenache, 25% Rolle, 15% Cinsault and 5% Syrah, pale and delicate with pearlescent, silvery reflections. Fine and inviting on the nose, it opens on stone fruit and citrus with a sweet-tart lift; the palate is supple at first, then vivid, with floral rose notes, a touch of spice and a long finish. Classified, historic and unmistakably Provençal — an expression of place refined over seven centuries
