Côtes de Provence Red – Warmth & Elegance of a Mediterranean Wine

Côtes de Provence Red: Mediterranean Intensity & Southern Character

Though better known for its rosés, the Côtes de Provence appellation also produces bold and expressive red wines from southern grapes like Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault — embodying the warmth and complexity of Provence.

Diverse terroirs between sea and mountains

From the Maures hills to Sainte-Victoire, vineyards thrive on varied soils (schist, limestone, sandstone) with generous sunshine, cleansing winds and occasional altitude that bring freshness and balance.

Generous, fruity and spicy style

Expect aromas of blackberry, cherry, garrigue herbs, pepper, with hints of cocoa or leather. On the palate: warm, structured yet smooth, with a long, lingering finish.

Reds worth discovering

Less known than the rosés, these reds offer excellent value and unique character — ideal for Mediterranean cuisine and warm evenings.

Food pairings

Perfect with Provençal stew, herb-crusted lamb, ratatouille or summer grills.
