Cotes de Provence

Cotes de Provence is located in the south of France and is one of the famous pink wine producing areas. It is worth mentioning that many historians agree that Provence is the earliest wine region in France. Up to 80% of the local pink wine is pink wine, accounting for 40% of the French pink wine production. With plenty of sunshine and little rain throughout the year, the mountains provide ideal slopes and sheltered valleys for grapes. The diverse soil types can produce high-quality rosé wines.

Terroir

The terroir of the Cotes de Provence is ideal for growing vines. The subsoil has complex geological features, which are particularly favorable for the growth of vines. The Cotes de Provence can be subdivided geologically into two main areas: one in the north and west, with a lot of limestone; the other in the south and east, with crystalline soils. These crystals are formed from part of volcanic rock. The entire northern and western part of the Cotes de Provence consists of alternating hills and ridges of limestone formed by erosion. Facing the ocean to the east are the crystal clear mountains of Maures and Tanneron.

Major Grape Varieties

It mainly uses 7 kinds of grapes, including Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault and Tibouren. In addition to brewing with light-colored gray grapes (Gris), blood drawing, maceration and blending methods are also used. All in all, the rosé wine has rich strawberry, cherry, grapefruit fruity, mineral and herbaceous aromas. Therefore, the style of pink wine is very diverse, with sweetness ranging from dry, slightly sweet, to sweet.

Sub-region

Due to the size and variety of terroirs, there is not one but many types of Provence hills. Each has its own geological and climatic personality. There are mainly four famous sub-regions:

Pierrefeu

Located on the west side of the Cotes de Provence. The climate here is a blend of continental and Mediterranean climates. Spring and summer are very hot. The height of the vineyards is usually less than 400 meters above sea level. There are three main types of soil in this area. To the north and west are the characteristic red sands and clays of the Permian Basin, extending as far as Marseilles. The remaining areas are plains with more stony soils. In it sand and clay are combined with limestone deposits. The hillside is reddish brown loamy clay with schist deposits.

Sainte-Victoire

80% of the wine produced in the appellation is rosé, the rest is entirely red. White wines produced in the region are sold as Cotes de Provence.

Fréjus

The appellation covers just under 250 hectares (620 acres), a fraction of the 20,000 hectares in the entire Cotes de Provence. Pink wine accounts for 75% of the total production.

La Londe

Located on the Mediterranean coast east of Toulon. It mainly produces pink wine brewed with Cinsaut and Grenache, and there are also red wines mainly blended with GSM.
