The wine region of Coteaux Varois en Provence
Provençal AOC of the Var hinterland (28 villages, ~2,229 ha) tempered by the Sainte-Baume massif. Signature rosés dominate (91%): pale robe with signature notes of strawberry, grapefruit, white peach, flowers (rose, garrigue) and a citrus touch, fresh and thirst-quenching palate — more structured and mineral than the coast thanks to altitude. Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre at the base, local Tibouren. Supple cherry-garrigue reds, Rolle and Clairette whites.
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: Stirring
In the traditional method, the operation aims to bring the deposits against the cork by the movement of the bottles placed on desks. The stirring can be manual or mechanical (using gyropalettes).
