Vins de Provence

Vins de Provence, the oldest vineyard in France, brings together three appellations d’origine contrôlée spanning close to 200 km, between the Mediterranean and the Alps, across the departments of Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and a commune within the Alpes-Maritimes: the AOC Côtes de Provence, AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence and AOC Coteaux Varois en Provence. These are united under the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins de Provence (CIVP), and bring together some 494 private wine producers, 63 cooperative producers as well as 90 wine traders. Rosé wine is a historic specialty of this wine growing region and represents 90% of wine production. It is intimately linked to Provence’s identity, sharing the same values of authenticity, sensoriality and audacity. Today, 38% of French AOC Rosés wines and 4.2% of Rosés in the world hail from Provence and there are renowned for their signature style - pale pink, dry and aromatic.
