Wine-growing Provence is a love story between the sea and the hills, where vines dance with the mistral wind under a generous sun. While the region has become the undisputed queen of rosé wines, it holds many other treasures for us. From the powerful reds of Bandol to the marine whites of Cassis, and through gastronomic rosés, Provence invites us to a sun-filled tasting experience. Ready to explore this land where winemaking has been an art of living for more than 2,600 years?
Provence, the historical cradle of French viticulture, offers us much more than its famous rosés. Between sea and mountain, this sunny region produces wines that capture the very essence of the Mediterranean art of living.
The Mediterranean climate, marked by 300 days of sunshine per year and the purifying mistral wind, combined with limestone and schist soils, gives birth to wines of great finesse. The vineyards, often on restanques (terraces), benefit from ideal exposure.

Provence conceals confidential appellations that deserve to be discovered:
Les Baux-de-Provence: Nestled in the heart of the Alpilles, these vineyards produce wines of rare elegance, influenced by a unique limestone terroir and the freshness of the reliefs. The wines of the Alpilles perpetuate respectful viticulture, giving birth to structured reds and complex whites.
Bellet: On the heights of Nice, this small appellation cultivates the rare Braquet grape, offering rosés and reds with a distinct mountain character.
Sainte-Victoire: At the foot of the mountain painted by Cézanne, these wines benefit from a particular microclimate, giving crystalline rosés and character-filled reds.

Modern Pairings:
Provence would not be complete without its PDO olive oil, the true liquid gold of the terroir:
Olive oil from the Baux-de-Provence Valley: Renowned for its notes of raw artichoke and fresh herbs, it enhances the red wines of the Alpilles.
Château d'Estoublon: An exceptional estate that combines viticulture and olive growing, producing exceptional single-variety olive oils, perfect paired with their wines.
Traditional pairings: Aïoli with a Provence white, tapenade with a Baux red, ratatouille with a character-filled rosé.
Why are Provence rosés so renowned? Their paleness, freshness, and aromatic complexity are the result of unique expertise, perfected over generations.
Do Provence wines age well? Rosés are best enjoyed young (1-2 years), but Bandol reds can age 10-15 years. Cassis whites have a potential of 3-5 years.
At what temperature should these wines be served?
How to recognize a good Provence rosé? Its pale color ("gris"), delicate fruit and flower aromas, and characteristic mineral finish.
