Château la Croix des Pins

In 2010, a new chapter began when Eric Petitjean took over the domaine, alongside his friend and oenologist Jean-Pierre Valade, bringing renewed vision and energy to this historic place.

AN IMMERSIVE ART OF LIVING Surrounded by wild nature and an emblematic vineyard, Château de Berne offers a sensory experience where pleasure and refinement embody the Provençal art of living. From its five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel, château and private villas, to its Michelin-starred restaurant renowned for its eco-conscious approach, every detail is designed to create a seamless and memorable stay. The experience extends through a curated selection of activities—spa rituals, cooking classes, wine experiences and outdoor pursuits—inviting each guest to engage with the estate at their own rhythm. Whether gastronome, wine lover, explorer or simply in search of stillness, Château de Berne promises a stay shaped by elegance, nature, and emotion. A RENEWED EXPRESSION Today, alongside the natural richness of its unique terroirs, the work undertaken since 2010 in both the vineyard and the cellar is fully revealed—expressing itself with clarity and precision in every tasting. In 2022, the winery underwent a significant expansion. New state-of-the-art equipment was introduced, enabling detailed parcel-by-parcel selection and precise separation of grape varieties. This evolution offers greater freedom and finesse in winemaking, while ensuring a consistently high level of quality—allowing each wine to express its full potential with accuracy and elegance. A COMMITMENT TO NATURE AND PEOPLE At La Croix des Pins, protecting the environment is at the heart of everything we do. Respect for both people and nature guides our values and our daily decisions. Our approach is rooted in a strong CSR commitment, focused on environmental responsibility and the well-being of our team—because sustainability begins with those who bring the estate to life. ORGANIC BY CONVICTION The estate is cultivated according to the principles of organic farming, preserving biodiversity and safeguarding the vitality of our soils for future generations. Here, organic agriculture is not simply a certification—it is a deeply held commitment. A way of working in harmony with nature, ensuring that each wine reflects both the integrity of the land and the care with which it is cultivated. LES VINS Empreints de la créativité de notre œnologue-vigneron Jean-Pierre Valade, nos vins blancs, rouges et rosés expriment avec justesse l’identité de leurs terroirs. Issus de l’agriculture biologique depuis 1998 pour les Ventoux, et depuis 2012 pour nos appellations Gigondas et Beaumes-de-Venise, ils reflètent un engagement durable et une approche respectueuse de la vigne. Chaque cuvée révèle un équilibre entre précision, authenticité et expression du fruit—signature d’un savoir-faire guidé par l’exigence et la passion.
