The Côtes de Provence sub-soil rep resents complex geology that is par ticularly conducive to wine-making. Two large geological areas coexist in Côtes de Provence: one, to the north and west, is calcareous and the other to the south and east is crystalline. The entire northern and western zones of Côtes de Provence are made up of alternating hills and limestone ridges sculpted by erosion. Further east, facing the sea, sit the crystal line Maures and Tanneron Mountain Ranges. This crystal series is formed in part of eruptive rocks.

Côtes du Roussillon Villages: Powerful and complex, and suitable for ageing. “The rosé wines display light to very light, brilliant, clear hues. Their nose offers aromas of fresh flowers (rose), yellow fruits (melon, peach) and red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, cherry), coupled with touches of citrus zest, tropical fruits and marshmallow. Their palate exudes a supple, round ed feel, counterbalanced by [varying degrees of crispness] depending on the vineyard site. The wines show balanced generosity and light tangy freshness lifting a persistent finish often suffused with abundant fruiti ness.” Region website, soil and wine notes from roussillon.wine vinsdeprovence.com/en Argens Verdon Durance Bandol Le Beausset La Ciotat Hyères La Londe les Maures Bormes-les-Mimosas Pierrefeu-du-Var Grimaud Saint-Tropez Sainte-Maxime Fréjus Saint-Raphaël Le Luc-en-Provence Brignoles Trets Gardanne Aubagne ignane Le-Puy- Sainte-Réparade Pierrevert Moustiers-Ste-Marie Barjols Rians Draguignan Lorgues Salernes La Roquebrussanne St-Maximim- la-Ste-Baume Les Arcs-sur-Argens Pignans Les Mayons NICE Antibes Cannes TOULON MARSEILLE X-EN-PROVENCE Golfe de Giens Îles d'Hyères Corniche des Maures Golfe de Saint-Tropez Corniche de l'Estérel Baie des Anges Île de Porquerolles Le s Ca la n q ues MER M ÉDIT ERR AN ÉE • Med iterr anea n Sea Îles de Lérins Port-Cros 04 ALPES-DE-HAUTE-PROVENCE 06 ALPES-MARITIMES 84 VAUCLUSE 83 VAR MON TA GN E SA INT E-VIC TOIRE MON TAG NE DE LA SAI NTE B AUME MA SS IF DE L'E STER EL MA SS IF DE S M AURE S 0 10 km 0 6 miles Échelle • Scale Villar- sur-Var La Clape Pic Saint Loup Image from Vins de Provence uploads/Religion/ grenache-languedoc-roussillon-2 1 .pdf
