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: Polyphenols
Substance contained essentially in the skin of the grape. The main ones are anthocyanins, which give red wines their colour and tannins.
