Nos vins rouges de Provence

Long renowned for its rosés, Provence also produces superb red wines that are rich, spicy, and elegant. From the limestone hills of the Var to the rolling hills of the Alpilles and the sun-drenched terroirs along the Mediterranean coast, Provence’s winemakers craft reds brimming with character. Fruity and supple in the more approachable vintages, deeper and more structured in the great terroirs, Provence’s red wines captivate with their unique balance of intensity and freshness. Discover in this collection our selection of Provence red wines, chosen for their authenticity, finesse, and ability to pair equally well with everyday meals and special occasions.

Why choose a red wine from Provence?

Red wines from Provence are distinguished by their full-bodied yet always balanced style. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, the grapes enjoy excellent sun exposure while retaining a lovely freshness due to maritime influences and limestone soils.

The region’s iconic grape varieties—such as Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan—produce wines with aromas of black fruit, garrigue, spices, and sometimes subtle smoky or licorice notes.

Depending on the appellations and winemaking methods, you'll find a wide variety of profiles:

• light, fruity reds to be enjoyed young
• more powerful and structured vintages
• wines that pair perfectly with fine dining and are ideal for aging
• organic and natural red wines with a strong sense of terroir
