Provence is a sun soaked region on France’s south coast, where vineyards sit close to the Mediterranean and the sea breeze helps keep the grapes fresh. It’s best known for its elegant rosés, often made in a way that preserves delicate fruit flavours and a clean, thirst quenching finish. Look out for bottles labelled Côtes de Provence, which cover a wide range of styles and value, from light and crisp to slightly more expressive and savoury.

The region’s growing conditions play a big part in the taste. Expect plenty of warm days, cooler nights and soils that can range from limestone to sandy coastal patches. That mix encourages aromatic complexity, so you may also find Provence reds with soft, approachable tannins and flavours of ripe cherry, herbs and gentle spice.

Whether you’re planning a relaxed lunch, a seafood spread or an evening with friends, Provence is a versatile choice. If you enjoy wines that feel bright, natural and easy to drink, exploring this range is a great place to start.
