The Provence wine region, located along the Mediterranean coast in southeastern France, is best known for its world-class rosé wines, which dominate its wine production. With a winemaking history dating back over 2,600 years, it is one of France's oldest wine regions. Provence’s sunny, dry climate and diverse terroir create ideal conditions for growing grape varieties like grenache, syrah, cinsault, and mourvèdre, which contribute to its signature pale, delicate rosés. The region is divided into key appellations, including Côtes de Provence and Bandol, with Bandol also producing structured red wines from mourvèdre as well as white wines from uni blanc, bourboulenc, clairette, grenache blanc and marsanne.
