The wine region of Les Baux-de-Provence

Provençal AOC in the Alpilles massif (7 communes, 277 ha, France's first 100% organic/biodynamic AOC since 2023), stony calcareous soils, sunny Mediterranean climate with Mistral. Signature reds from Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah (≥60%): elegant and sun-drenched with black cherry, garrigue, thyme, rosemary, black olive and peppery notes, tannins melted by sun. Fresh, crunchy rosés. Full whites from Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Roussanne.


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.

The word of the wine: Oenologist

Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
