The Rich History of Château de Berne
Château de Berne is located at the crossroads of the ancient Via Aurelia Roman Road, a vital route for wine trade connecting Italy and Spain. The cultivation of vines in this region dates back to Roman times, with amphorae found on-site as evidence of its winemaking heritage. In the 12th century, the estate was gifted to Saint Bernard by Raymond V and the Count of Toulouse, who established a monastic community that nurtured the land. The property changed hands in 1307 when the King of France confiscated it, and it remained with the Marquis de Villeneuve for nearly five centuries. In the 19th century, Marius Estellon, a former army commander, revitalized the estate by expanding the vineyards and modernizing viticulture practices, marking a new era for Château de Berne.
Modern Developments at Château de Berne
Throughout the 20th century, Château de Berne changed ownership several times until 1985, when an Englishman revitalized the vineyards by replanting 32 hectares and upgrading the facilities. In 2007, another British entrepreneur acquired the estate, continuing its legacy of quality and innovation, including the introduction of the first square-shaped wine bottles.
