GEOLOGY OF THE VINEYARD
HISTORY
THE CHAPEL
ENVIRONMENT
CUVE BELLE POULE
 
 
The chapel was built during the same period as the Château. Decorated with trompe l'oeil, it is illuminated by four stained-glass windows.

Two of them represent the scene of the Annunciation. The colours are luminous, the subject symbolic .

In 1888, Lucien Savatier was in charge of disarming the ship called the " Belle Poule ". (Historic anecdote: this frigate had repatriated the ashes of the Emperor Bonaparte from the Island of Saint Helena). He was at that period Director of the Iron-works and Shipyards of La Seyne-sur-Mer.

He saved the doors of the reliquary cabin which henceforth decorate the chapel of the Château. The "Cuvée Belle Poule " evokes this souvenir.
