The wine region of Bouches-du-Rhone
Provençal departmental IGP around Aix-en-Provence: signature dominant rosés (~50%) with pale robe and signature noses of red fruits or citrus, fresh and accessible. Mediterranean reds (~40%) — spicy Syrah, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Cinsault, Carignan and Caladoc in blends, soft round tannins. Whites (~10%) — Ugni, Clairette, Rolle, Bourboulenc and Chardonnay with fresh floral notes. IGP, Mediterranean climate.
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: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
