Introduction

It’s a heady experience to stand in Provence and savor the sights and smells of one of the world’s most beautiful parts. The region’s wines invoke everything the south of France is famous for – a lust for life and endless warmth.

Yet no vineyard has been pigeonholed and misrepresented quite like Provence. Indeed, for many wine lovers, its sole contribution to the world is gallons (and we mean gallons!) of rosé: quaffable and instantly forgotten.

How little they know. Provence has reinvented itself in the last 15 years and continues to do so, producing age-worthy red and white wines in addition to the commercially important rosé. In addition, once underperforming appellations have been revitalized in recent years as the emerging generation continues to innovate, the number of exciting, high-quality small producers has quadrupled since the early 2000s.

Meanwhile, Provence’s vivid landscapes and historic villages are as captivating as ever. Most famously, painters such as Van Gogh and Picasso were inspired by Provence’s luminous light and brilliant colors. We guarantee you will be, too.
