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: Roast
Specific character given by noble rot to sweet wines, which results in a candied taste and aroma.
