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: Vatting
After five to eight days of alcoholic fermentation, it is possible to prolong the maceration in order to extract the maximum amount of matter from the marc. The wines obtained in this way are rich and full-bodied, and in principle are intended for laying down.
