"The Saint Julien D'Aille estate (labeled Organic Agriculture) is a very old wine growing estate. Monastic before the Revolution, it was the property of the Pasteur Institute for more than half a century. Entirely restored by Bernard Fleury, who acquired it in 1999, it extends over 80 ha. The name of the estate associates the Aille, a small river in the Maures plain, and Saint Julien, a Roman centurion martyr in the 4th century.
  
Saint-Julien lived in the 3rd century AD. Against the advice of the Roman authorities, this centurion converted to Christianity in 304 and deserted the army. Arrested, he was put to death and beheaded. The rebellion of this martyr against the all-powerful Rome will arouse immense fervor throughout the Empire. In Gaulle, more than 300 chapels will be erected in memory of Saint-Julien. In 1095, Pope Urban IX decided to sanctify it and bless the chapel of the Castle in Saint-Julien.
