Mas Saint Berthe

In the 17th century, the Mas de Sainte Berthe was known as the "house in the fields" of the Lord of Mollières. A chapel was attached to the old farm buildings. This chapel was dedicated to Saint Berthe, the patron saint of fevers. Every year, on the 1st of January and the 1st Sunday of May, the inhabitants of the region came on ... pilgrimage to "be delivered from fevers".

Since 1950, Mas Sainte Berthe has been owned by the same family. Today, Olivier Rolland, the owner, and Eduardo Pincheira, the oenologist and manager, are leading the Mas in the logic of sustainable agriculture with the aim of obtaining certification for the 2023 vintage. The terroir is characteristic of the Baux de Provence PDO: a mixture of clay, gravel and marl favours the natural drainage of the soil. The level of sunshine is also exceptional, exceeding 300 days per year. The Rolland family's main concern is the quality of the grapes, because to make good wines, you need good fruit. see more
