Provencal IGP in northern Bouches-du-Rhone (Alpilles massif between Avignon, Arles, Saint-Remy): signature Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as red and rose kings (78% reds, 19% roses) — signature profile with bright red fruits, garrigue and Mediterranean spice notes, preserved finesse.

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.
