Coteaux d'Aix en Provence

Located furthest to the West among Provence wines, the vineyards of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence stretch from the Durance River to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Rhône Valley (West) to Sainte-Victoire Mountain (East). This appellation is renowned for its captivating reds and rosés. The red wines offer a beautiful texture, ample with firm tannins that provide a structured and voluminous experience. Meanwhile, the rosé wines charm the palate with their roundness, aromatic depth, and a refreshing finish often accompanied by minerality.

Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire

Situated at the base of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, the vineyards of Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire thrive on poor yet quality soil consisting of limestone and clayey sandstone. These vineyards produce exceptional red wines ranging from delicate to robust and generous, as well as elegant rosés with subtle flavors.

Bandol

Nestled in a natural amphitheater, the Bandol vineyard stretches across terraces encompassing approximately 1,600 hectares. Protected by the massif of Sainte Baume to the North, this vineyard descends gracefully toward the sea, creating a magnificent amphitheater of wooded hills. Bandol wines predominantly feature the Mourvèdre variety, known as the king of the appellation, complemented harmoniously by Grenache and Cinsault. The red wines exemplify balance, while the rosés captivate with their roundness and generosity.

Cassis

Established as a Protected Appellation (AOP) in 1936, Cassis stands as one of the early vineyards in the region to receive this prestigious qualification. This picturesque village, composed of a single commune, holds the distinction of producing predominantly white wines, with at least 80% Marsanne. The Marsanne varietal contributes exquisite aromatics, finesse, and an elegant profile to the refreshing high-quality white wines of Cassis.

Châteauneuf du Pape

The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation, labeled as one of the first AOC wines of France in 1936, boasts a rich history dating back to the Roman era. This vineyard, expanded and developed during the 14th century by the Avignon Popes, showcases a remarkable soil composition. Explore the village and its ancient castle, the former summer residence of the Popes, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley.
