AOC Côtes-de-Provence

The Côtes-de-Provence AOC is THE major appellation of Provence. Spanning over 20,000 hectares and across 3 departments (Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, and Alpes-Maritimes), the vast majority of wines produced here are rosés (92%), but the reds and whites (4% each) are definitely worth discovering when crafted with care. The region's geology is varied but mainly consists of a clay-limestone base, although some areas are more schistose and crystalline. The vineyard enjoys significant sunshine and is refreshed by the Mistral wind. The grape varieties Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Tibouren make up the majority of rosé and red wine production.On the white side, Rolle, Clairette, Ugni blanc and Sémillon are the main varieties. Discover here a selection of estates, carefully chosen for the outstanding quality of their wines!
