The wine region of Bellet
One of the oldest and smallest AOCs in France (1941) on the west slopes of Nice (~200 m), between sea and mountain. Rolle is the signature white (80-90%): dry and floral with citrus, white flowers, stone fruits and a mineral-saline touch. Braquet is the autochthonous rosé grape: fine and delicate with red fruits. Folle Noire is the endemic signature red: structured with dark fruits, garrigue, spice and firm tannins.
The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
