Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) wines take up a significant amount of the limelight in France, but there are many thousands hectares of vineyards that fall outside of this classification. Of these, wines granted the status of Indication Geographique Protegee (IGP) are the most important and include the regions of Ardeche, Languedoc-Roussillon and Cotes de Provence, France's best-known region for rose wines. Producers must meet strict conditions to hit the required quality standards, particularly around yields and minimum alcohol content. There are many excellent wines offering great value for money made under the IGP label and relaxed labelling laws allow winemakers to indicate the wine's grape variety on the bottle. Alongside the classic Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, varieties like Viognier, Grenache and Syrah are prominent. Despite a perception of inferior quality to AOC wines, this is not the case, as winemakers looking to work innovatively outside of their own strict AOC rules will label their wines as IGP.

Cotes de Provence
An appellation lying in the south-east of the region of Provence, Cotes de Provence is responsible for nearly all of the production of Provence's light, salmon-coloured rose wine, made predominantly from Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvedre and often an aromatic sprinkling of local Tibouren. While an increasing amount of intriguing red wine is made in Cotes de Provence, 85 percent of the output is rose, and it these crisp, refreshing wines that have made the region famous. The appellation's varied terroirs of steep hills and coastal plains makes for a range of vineyard sites, and the wines vary accordingly. Traditionally a light pink, the best Cotes de Provence roses will burst with red fruit flavour, but their exuberant nature is often accompanied by sophisticated notes of watermelon, forest floor, savoury herbs and a gentle beguiling salinity.

Provence Rosé Blend
Provence Rose is made from three grape varieties, which are Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Grenache offers, body and empowerment to the wine, when enjoyed young, lovely elegant aromas of red summer berries. Cinsault, a grape originaly from the Provence wine region, brings freshness and delicacy. Finally the Syrah brings a touch of colour. One of the hallmarks of Provence rose is it’s colour, today the paler the better, our customers look for great quality and taste with just a hint of blush pink hue.
