The emblematic wine of Provence: Le Rosé

Rosé wine, its origin

Although the rosé is modern and trendy, it has existed for 260 years. It was the Greeks who planted the first vines and introduced the wine culture. In the 18th century, the rosé was abandoned for red wine. Now days, the trend is for the Rosé, and its consumption has tripled in twenty years.

The union of Provence and rosé

In Provence, the production of rosé is a specialty, a real art of living. Each year is produced on average 141 million bottles of AOC rosés. This makes Provence the first region in France producing this wine, with 35% of the national production.

Rosé, a trendy product

Rosé represents 30% of the world’s wine consumption with 69 million consumers. It announces the arrival of the holidays and sunny days!  With ice, or just out of the freezer, the Rosé is also a base for cocktail and blends perfectly with fresh and fruity ingredients.
