Provence Wine

The Provence region is a vast wine region in South East France that stretches from Nice to Arles, with the Mediterranean to the South and the mountains in the North providing a fantastic climate for grapes that helps to produce the distinctive wines of Provence including the rosés that they are famous for.

Provence is the number one French region for rosé wine which makes up around 90% of its vines that impressively account for over 40% of the country’s rosé production. Not only is Provence the only area focused primarily on rosé, but they also have a research institute dedicated to the study of rosé wine. In partnership with the research centre, they have even developed a clever colour chart of their rosé wines which can be used by both consumers and producers to help precisely describe the colour of rosé. In order of consumer preference, the six main colours of rosé produced in Provence are – Peach, Melon, Mango, Grapefruit, Mandarin and Redcurrant.
