Practices & Techniques
Wines:
The first wine qualifies for the appellation contrôlée "Côtes de Provence". It is sold under the name "Castle Sarrins". Our white wine is not entitled to the appellation contrôlée because it comes from a single grape variety, Rolle. It's still a great wine, vinified and aged in barrels, sold under the name "The Sarrins" and the name "Vin de pays du Var".
From the first vintage - 1995 - we decided to retain the best part of the production of AOC and only 18,000 bottles of Château Sarrins Rosé 1995 were proposed and 6,000 bottles of red, raised in new barrels were produced. Current production rises to about 60 000 bottles of Rosé, 70%, 10% red and 20% white.
