In Provence, wine is more than a tradition; it's a living culture rooted in an exceptional terroir. Rosé is the modern emblem of Provence: bright, dry, and delicate. But the region also reveals remarkable reds and whites, full of character and Mediterranean charm.

Thanks to its sun-drenched climate, diverse soils (limestone, clay, schist), and varied elevations, the vine thrives in ideal conditions. This geological and climatic richness allows each appellation to express its unique personality.
Notable appellations include:
Les Baux-de-Provence, with deep reds and structured rosé
Palette, rare and refined, producing age-worthy wines
Bandol, home to Mourvèdre and some of the South’s finest reds
Côtes de Provence, vast yet increasingly focused thanks to parcel-driven approaches

Provence is home to one of the oldest winegrowing traditions in France. It began in the 6th century BCE, when the Greeks founded Massalia (modern-day Marseille) and introduced the vine to southern lands. The Romans continued this expansion, developing viticulture across the region and turning Provence into a key trading post between East and West. Through the centuries, monasteries, noble families, and more recently a push toward quality in the 20th century, all shaped a vibrant legacy. This uninterrupted heritage gives Provençal wine a soul, shaped by time, land, and people.
Today, Provence is experiencing a vibrant revival. Winemakers are embracing organic, biodynamic, and small-scale production. The result: wines that are alive, precise, and full of identity, far more than just summer refreshers.

Provence relies on a wide range of grape varieties, often blended to reflect the diversity of its terroirs:
Grenache: generous and structured, with red fruit character
Cinsault: light and elegant, ideal for rosé
Syrah: spicy and richly colored, bringing structure
Mourvèdre: powerful and complex, core to Bandol reds
Rolle (Vermentino): fresh and floral, the star of Provençal whites
Also found are Clairette, Ugni Blanc, and more unexpected grapes like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc; especially at Château Revelette, a pioneer in exploring new profiles.
