This estate, a true jewel of southern France, stretches over an impressive area of 110 hectares, of which 30 are dedicated exclusively to wine production.

Since then, Château Rasque has continually captivated wine connoisseurs from around the world with its exemplary production of Provençal wines. The region's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, as well as the clay-limestone soil, provides ideal conditions for growing various grape varieties. The vineyards of Château Rasque are mainly composed of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Rolle and Semillon, all cultivated with respect for the environment and meticulous attention paid to each phase of production. One unique feature of this estate is its pyramid-shaped wine cellar, which is directly carved from rock and offers ideal winemaking conditions. This cellar, coupled with traditional and innovative winemaking techniques, allows Château Rasque to produce a range of remarkable, refined, and authentic wines. Château Rasque's range of wines includes red, white, and rosé wines. Their rosé is particularly notable, with its sophisticated bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, and its lovely pale color. Each bottle produced at Château Rasque promises a true symphony of flavors, an invitation to explore the delicate nuances of Provence.

Discovering the wine region of Côtes de Provence

The AOC Côtes de Provence is the largest appellation in the Provence wine region of southeastern France. It covers about 20,000 hectares of vineyards, which produce the vast majority of Provence's rosé wine. This appellation includes most of the vineyards in the Var department - essentially the eastern half of the Provence wine region - with the exception of 2,250 hectares North of Toulon which are reserved for the Côteaux Varois en Provence appellation. Although it also covers red and white wine, about 80% of Côtes de Provence production is rosé.

This wine is mainly made from the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsaut grapes, as well as the quintessential Provence red Tibouren. Although clearly a minority, the Volume of red wine produced under this title (and elsewhere in Provence) is increasing and currently represents about 15% of the total. Grapes such as the three key Rhone varieties mentioned above and Cabernet Sauvignon (introduced here in the 1960s) are being used by a New wave of winemakers eager to demonstrate that rosé is not the only interesting wine in the region. Only about five percent of Côtes de Provence wines are made from white grapes, particularly Rolle (Vermentino).
