"Halfway between the feet of the Alps and the Mediterranean, the Domaine des Sarrins is nestled in the hills of Haut Var, near Lorgues, in a small village called Saint Antonin du Var. It extends over around a hundred hectares of pine, oak, or olive groves, surrounding islets of vines where the hilly terrain allows. In all, 27 hectares of vines are cultivated, producing wines bearing the AOP Côte de Provence or Vin de Pays du Var.
  
The Domaine des Sarrins takes its name from the contraction of the word “Sarrasins”. The latter occupied the Maures massif for centuries from where they launched raids into the hinterland. In the 11th century, during one of these pillages, resistance having been organized, a Sarrazin chief was injured in Draguignan. While trying to reach the Maures massif he succumbed at this place where a small tower stood. It is said that he was buried there wearing his golden armor.
  
Over the centuries, near this Sarrazin tower which became a country bastide, endowed with a precious spring, an estate was built, with numerous trades: from olive groves to livestock breeding, including various crops including that of silkworm and of course…. of the vine.
  
From the end of the 19th century and the war of 1914-18, the rural exodus considerably weakened the countryside, and the area then shrank.
  
In 1995, the Paillard family bought it, and through patient work, over the years, breathed new life into it.
  
Juice yield limited to 60%, in order to preserve only the best juices with optimum aromatic potential.
  
The white of Rolle is vinified and aged in thermo-regulated vats. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is left on fine lees in order to gain roundness and aromas.
  
The nose is fine and expressive, mixing aromas of white fruits (grapes, peach) with mineral notes then nuances of sweet almond and hazelnut.
  
The palate is harmoniously balanced between liveliness and roundness.
  
The wine offers great length and freshness."
