Provence produces more rosé than any other French region, and these pale, elegant, gastronomic rosés have become a global phenomenon.
The region stretches from the Rhône delta to Nice, with key appellations including Côtes de Provence, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, and Bandol.
Bandol is the region's most serious appellation, producing age-worthy reds from Mourvèdre.
Cassis produces distinctive white wines.
The "Provence style" rosé — pale salmon, bone-dry, with restrained fruit and herbal notes — has been widely imitated worldwide.
Château d'Esclans (Whispering Angel) and Domaines Ott are benchmark producers.
