The wine region of Var
Vast Provençal IGP in the hinterland of the Côte d'Azur: signature Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Tibouren as royal rosés — pale and fruity with notes of peach, citrus, strawberry, white flowers and a hint of spice, signature chiselled freshness, the regional flagship. Mourbèdre and Carignan in sun-drenched reds (cherry, garrigue). Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Clairette in floral whites. IGP, sunny Mediterranean, limestone and schist soils, cleansing mistral.
The wine region of Méditerranée
Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
The word of the wine: Assembly
Blending of several wines to obtain a single batch. Using wines of the same origin, blending is very different from coupage - a mixture of wines from different origins - which has a pejorative connotation.
