IGP Méditerranée

The IGP Méditerranée wine appellation is a protected geographical indication label for wines produced in the Mediterranean region located in the south of France, including the regions of Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, and the island of Corsica. The label guarantees that the wine has been made from grapes grown in the specific geographical area and that it has been produced, processed, and prepared in accordance with traditional methods

The wines produced in this region are typically made from a wide variety of grape varieties, such as Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault for red wines, Vermentino, Roussanne, and Marsanne for white wines, and Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Grenache for rosé wines. The Mediterranean climate provides warm and dry weather during the growing season, which leads to wines with good ripeness and high alcohol level. The wines from this region are typically rich and full-bodied, with flavours of dark fruit, spices and a hint of garrigue for reds, and floral, tropical fruits and a hint of mineral for whites. The Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) is a lower level of classification than the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) but still ensures that the wine was produced in a specific geographic area with certain rules and regulations.
