The wine region of Alpilles
Provencal IGP in northern Bouches-du-Rhone (Alpilles massif between Avignon, Arles, Saint-Remy): signature Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as red and rose kings (78% reds, 19% roses) — signature profile with bright red fruits, garrigue and Mediterranean spice notes, preserved finesse. Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier, Vermentino (Rolle) and Clairette in whites (3%). Mediterranean climate, mineral soils and sanitizing mistral, aromatic precision.
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: Rafle (taste of)
A taste considered a defect, characterized by an unpleasant astringency and bitterness, brought by the stalk during the vinification process. In order to avoid it, destemming before vinification is a common practice.
