Great red wines from Provence

© T. Joly
Provence is mainly known for its rosé wines. However, the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence appellation also produces excellent reds able to be aged for several years and to pair with red meat and games. Made from Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mouvedre and to a less extent Cinsault and Counoise grape varieties, they are full bodied, complex and well structured wines boasting black or red fruits flavors with delicate spicy notes.
