REGION
Provence
France
Provence, located in the far southeast of France, is an iconic wine region bathed in Mediterranean sunshine. Its hot, dry, and bright climate, combined with a wide variety of soils (schist, limestone, clay), makes it an ideal terroir for crafting expressive and well-balanced wines.
The undisputed star of the region is rosé, which reigns supreme: fresh, fruity, and delicate, it perfectly embodies the Provençal art of living. The Côtes de Provence appellation—the largest and most renowned in the region—spans a vast area from the Alpine foothills to the Var coastline. It is synonymous with elegant rosés featuring notes of citrus, white flowers, and red berries, highly appreciated for their freshness and finesse.
Provence also produces rich reds and subtle whites, still relatively unknown, but well worth the attention of curious wine lovers.
