Bouches du Rhône
Famous for their rosé wines, the vineyards of the Provence - Côte d'Azur region also offer a wide range of equally exceptional red and white wines. Bouches-du-Rhône PGI wines benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot, sometimes very hot, summers, with temperatures reaching up to 40° C. Rainfall is irregular and often takes the form of violent storms. The region's fierce Mistral wind has a beneficial influence on the vines. The PGI vineyards of the Bouches-du-Rhône, stretching along the coast or winding through the valleys of the hinterland, offer a superb backdrop to a wide variety of accents.

As in all Mediterranean vineyards, theBouches-du-Rhône PGI features a wide variety of grape varieties. For the redIGP des Bouches-du-Rhône, Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Cabernet franc, Mourvèdre, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Counoise. For theIGP des Bouches-du-Rhône red-white grape, winemakers mainly use Ugni-blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc and Rolle. Muscat à Petits Grains, Chasan, Chardonnay and Sauvignon are also used. Of particular note are the Bouches-du-Rhône IGP crus presented by Château Revelette and Domaine de Trévallon.
