Provence

In the stunning setting of southern France, embraced by the sun and caressed by the Mediterranean breeze, lies Provence, one of the oldest and most fascinating wine regions in the world. With a winemaking history dating back more than 2,600 years, thanks to the ancient Greeks who introduced the vine, Provence today is a symbol of elegance, tradition, and innovation in the global wine landscape.

Provence is perhaps best known for its rosés, which make up the majority of the region's wine production. These light and refreshing wines are the result of a skillful blend of local grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The art of rosé here is a tradition passed down from generation to generation, perfected over the centuries to offer wines with a pale color and a delicate aromatic profile.

The region spans a variety of terroirs that give wines unique characteristics. Among the most renowned appellations, we find Côtes de Provence, Bandol, and Cassis. Côtes de Provence is known for its elegant and versatile rosés, perfect for accompanying the light dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, such as fresh salads and seafood. Bandol, on the other hand, is famous for its powerful and structured red wines based on Mourvèdre, offering notes of dark fruits, spices, and a refined tannicity, ideal for richer and more flavorful dishes.

But Provence is not just rosé. The white wines, although representing a smaller part of the production, offer surprising discoveries. Varieties such as Rolle (Vermentino) and Clairette are used to create fresh and aromatic white wines, with scents of citrus, white flowers, and mineral notes, perfect for warm summer days.

Every glass of Provençal wine tells a story of sun, sea, and land. The uniqueness of Provence wines derives not only from the grapes and terroirs but also from the Mediterranean climate that offers mild winters and hot summers, along with a varied soil ranging from limestone to clay and sandy, imparting complexity and diversity to the wines.

Beyond wines, Provence is a land of natural and cultural beauty, with its lavender fields, centuries-old olive groves, and picturesque villages that seem to have come out of an impressionist painting. Visiting Provence means immersing oneself in a complete sensory experience, where wine is the protagonist but not the sole actor.
