LES VINS DE PROVENCE THE GRAND VINEYARD OF ROSÉ WINES Vins de Provence, the oldest vineyard in France, brings together three Appellations d’Origine Protégée (AOP) spanning close to 200 km, between the Mediterranean and the Alps, across the Bouches-du-Rhône and Var departments and one village in the Alpes-Maritimes: Côtes de Provence AOP, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP and Coteaux Varois en Provence AOP. These are united under the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins de Provence (CIVP), and represent 494 private wine producers, 63 cooperative producers as well as 90 wine traders. Rosé wine is a historic specialty of this wine growing region and represents 90% of wine production. It is intimately linked to Provence’s identity, sharing the same values of authenticity, sensoriality and audacity. Today, 38% of French AOP Rosés wines and 4.2% of global rosé wines hail from Provence and there are renowned for their signature style - pale pink, dry and aromatic.
