Château Romanin

Inspiring and amazing. Few places are able to capture the eye and absorb the being with such intensity. Between Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Eygalières, two kilometres of a white and winding path invite you to take the time to join the Château Romanin estate. Nature, raw and majestic, envelops and captivates you.
The northern slope of the Alpilles impresses with its rocky cirque which shelters 250 hectares (including 58 hectares of vineyards, 4 hectares of olive trees and 2.5 hectares of almond trees), cared for with the same care.
It is
here that the vines, protected by the scrubland, olive trees and almond trees, cling to the ruins of a castle of the Templar Order dating from the 13th century and with a rich
historical
background
.

The geological configuration of the estate, combined with exceptional upward currents, gives the red, white and rosé wines their depth and remarkable specificities. The stones store heat during the day, release it at night and the Mistral helps to cool the vines. These phenomena allow the wines to reach sweet maturities, ideal for a better balance between alcoholic degree and

acidity.

Here again, the elements come together in respect and harmony. They operate unique phenomena that perfectly accompany wines and olive oils, fruits of the earth, the sun and the moon, and carried by the work of

men.

Our story

One day in May 2006, Anne-Marie and Jean-Louis Charmolüe, regular visitors to Provence since 1955, discovered the remarkable site of Château Romanin: it was love at first sight. A strong meeting took place between Jean-Louis Charmolüe, descendant of a family that guided Château Montrose's estate towards excellence (Second Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux) and the estate of Château Romanin, with its striking historical past; a reference to history for a link between their respective destinies.
Two places, two stories that look alike and
come together.

The beginning of 2018 is still marked by the death of the visionary and great winegrower Jean-Louis Charmolüe, a man who used to say: "Great estates always have a history. "It is a fact, because since Greek to Roman times, from the Middle Ages to the present day, events, characters and poetry have travelled through Romanesque Castle, a unique place whose ruins of the Templar Castle still stand at the foot of the

Alpilles.

In 2006, when they acquired Château Romanin, inhabited by an energy as strong as the one that runs through the site, Anne-Marie and Jean-Louis Charmolüe aspired to take up a double challenge: to write a new chapter in the history of the estate and produce exceptional wines. The couple then embarked on a journey that blended the precision and demands of the great estates, transcended by the hedonism of the place and the sharing of emotions.

The

perfect balance is apparent for deep, generous wines and olive oils with the flavours of

Provence.

Anne-Marie Charmolüe, owner and manager of Château Romanin, continues her commitment to excellence. Driven by her duty and her desire, she is committed to writing a new history in

Provence.
