The wine region of Bellet
One of the oldest and smallest AOCs in France (1941) on the west slopes of Nice (~200 m), between sea and mountain. Rolle is the signature white (80-90%): dry and floral with citrus, white flowers, stone fruits and a mineral-saline touch. Braquet is the autochthonous rosé grape: fine and delicate with red fruits. Folle Noire is the endemic signature red: structured with dark fruits, garrigue, spice and firm tannins.
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: Serious
A Bordeaux term for small pebbles from the Pyrenees, eroded, rounded and transported by the Garonne to Aquitaine. They are mainly found on the left bank in the area.... known as the Graves, and further downstream in the Médoc. By extension, gravel is found in other regions, brought by other rivers or even glaciers.
