Sourced from the finest terroirs in the region, these wines showcase the expertise of Provence winemakers and the character of a region renowned for producing exceptional rosé wines.

Rosé That Names Its Terroir, From Sainte-Victoire to the Sea

Five sub-zones of the Côtes de Provence appellation follow their own rulebook for rosé: Cru Sainte-Victoire, Fréjus, La Londe, Pierrefeu and Notre-Dame des Anges. All five set tighter requirements than the wider appellation, including yields capped at 50 hectoliters per hectare instead of 55 and no oenological charcoal, which the appellation allows to lighten the color of some of its rosé.

Each sub-zone also sets its own grape rules. In Fréjus, which opens onto the Mediterranean, Tibouren makes up at least 20% of the vines planted for rosé, and the wine holds no more than 3 grams of sugar per liter. Cru Sainte-Victoire requires at least 50% Grenache and Syrah in the vineyard; its stony, limestone-rich soils give its rosés extra liveliness and structure.

In La Londe, where the Maures hills meet the coast, rosé is mostly a blend of Grenache and Cinsault grown on schist. Pierrefeu, between the coast and the inland plain, and Notre-Dame des Anges, with its more continental climate, build their rosés on Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.

Why Choose a Provence Rosé?

Provence rosé is widely recognized as one of the best rosés in the world. Made primarily from grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, it stands out for its pale, luminous color, delicate nose, and fresh, fruity palate. Whether it's for a friendly aperitif, a summer barbecue, or a seaside dinner, Provence rosé suits every occasion. Light but never bland, aromatic but never overwhelming, it captivates with its perfect balance of freshness, fruit, and finesse.

Your Provence Rosé Questions, From the Table to Export Markets

Which Provence rosé goes with pissaladière?

With pissaladière, the onion and anchovy tart from Nice, pour a dry, pale Provence rosé: its freshness balances the sweet onions and the salty anchovies. If you prefer a firmer rosé, try a Bandol, where Mourvèdre makes up at least 20% of the vines planted for rosé.

What does “Vin de Provence” mean on a rosé label?

“Vin de Provence” on a rosé label is an optional term for an area broader than the appellation. The Côtes de Provence, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence and Coteaux Varois en Provence AOCs allow it, in letters no larger than the appellation name. That appellation name is what tells you exactly where the wine comes from.

Which countries drink the most Provence rosé?

France is the largest market for Provence rosé, but exports made up over 40% of sales in 2025, says the Provence wine council (CIVP). Across its three appellations (Côtes de Provence, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, Coteaux Varois en Provence), the US is the top export market at 127,934 hl, about 3.4 million gallons, ahead of the UK and the Netherlands.
