Classical Wine of Provence - Rosé

Provence is too sunny and hot to produce a really good red wine, but their rosés are beyond compare.  It is the classical wine of Provence.  There are many varieties including the famous rosé wines grown in the Camargue on sand.  The entire Camargue region is the ancient river delta of the Rhone River, and it has the silt and sand of ages collected there.  The Sablon rosé wine is beyond compare.  However, most rosé in any part of Provence is excellent, and it is the beverage of choice.

The Wine Store

Provence is known for its rosé wines.  Other wines are grown there, but the climate is best for rosé wines.  Some really good table wines are inexpensive in Provence, and for the sunny warm clime, the pink rosé wines go perfectly with any meal.

The good rosé wine.

The Provencal rosé wines are beyond compare.  One of the nicest is Mas de la Dame from Les Baux-de-Provence.  It is nice when you can see the vineyard, visit the domain and drink the product.  This wine was made for the sunny south of France.
