Between Toulon and Saint Tropez, in the pretty commune of La Londe Les Maures, discover Ch\u00e2teau la Valetanne.

The first harvest was a true revelation, offering an enchanting ros\u00e9, a sublime white and a red of rare elegance.<\/p>\n

Today, the domaine’s wines can be found on the menus of prestigious restaurants such as L’H\u00f4tel Royal in Evian, l’univers Bocuse in Lyon, La Villa Belrose in Gassin and French embassies around the world.<\/p>\n

The history of the \u201cC\u00f4tes de Provence\u201d appellation dates back to 1895. It wasn’t until 1977, however, that the local winegrowers succeeded in elevating \u201cC\u00f4te de Provence\u201d to the rank of Appellation d’Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e (AOC), thus consecrating an exceptional savoir-faire.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Domaine de La Valetanne lies on land rich in history, marked by human occupation as far back as Gallo-Roman times. Archaeological remains, including millstones, dolias and amphorae, indicate that in the 1st and 2nd centuries, these lands were already being used to grow cereals, vines and oil. These rural settlements may have been \u201cfundi\u201d, agricultural estates equipped with wine presses, vats and cellars, characteristic of the Pax Romana. Similar installations have been uncovered on neighboring estates, attesting to the region’s ancient winegrowing heritage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
