The Rosé, child of Provence

The first vines were brought by the Greeks during the founding of Marseille 26 centuries ago. The Rosé was first wine made in ancient times on the sunny terroirs of Provence. Favorite soil of the Rosé by its climate, its terroirs, its grape varieties, Provence has always been conducive to the production of wines of this beautiful and tender color. By the choice of grape varieties and a strategy in the cultivation methods, the winemakers froml the region have chosen to make the Rosé the leader of their production, exported worldwide. More and more tasted on the epicurean planet, the Rosé pairs with all the cuisines, all the cultures and all the atmospheres. The iconic production of Provence deserved its world day: the International Rosé Day!
