Provence
Provence is a picturesque wine region located in the southeastern part of France, known for its idyllic landscapes, Mediterranean climate, and world-renowned wines. With a winemaking history dating back over 2,600 years, Provence is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in France and is home to a diverse range of grape varieties. From the delicate and refreshing Rosé wines to the full-bodied and complex reds, Provence offers a unique and exciting wine experience for wine enthusiasts and novices alike. In this region, winemakers have long embraced sustainable and organic farming practices, further adding to the region's charm and appeal.
Provence boasts several notable appellations, including Côtes de Provence, Bandol, and Cassis. Côtes de Provence is the largest appellation in the region and is known for its high-quality Rosé wines, while Bandol is famous for its full-bodied and age-worthy reds made from the Mourvèdre grape variety. Cassis is a small appellation located near Marseille and is known for its crisp and refreshing white wines made from the Marsanne and Clairette grape varieties. Some of the leading producers in the region include Château d'Esclans, Domaines Ott, and Château de Pibarnon, all of which are known for their exceptional Rosé wines. Other notable producers include Domaine Tempier and Château Simone, both of which are renowned for their age-worthy reds and whites.

Decanter (91)From one of the most well-known rosé brands around the world, Rock Angel is the bigger, more intense and nuanced brother to Whispering Angel. Pale blush pink in colour, this is lively and refreshing with the depth and structure to pair well with food. A blend of Grenache and Vermentino, this offers white flower and raspberry notes on the nose and a blend of apple, pink grapefruit and summer berries on the palate. One to try if you like the other wines in the stable. |

Decanter (97)Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Counoise, Vaccarèse, Cinsault, Syrah, Muscardin; 14hl/ha yields; 30 months in large barrels before bottling. Already open and expressive, with black pepper and juniper married with liquorice, raspberry, plum and garrigue herbs. It’s full-bodied, but so lively and expressive, with a grand tannic structure and a powerful, grippy finish. It’s generous in alcohol but doesn't taste unbalanced. Just outrageously good. |

To ensure quality is always at its highest, the Delon family do not irrigate and harvest is only done by hand picking. This extra desire and effort to ensure they are making the best wines possible, even at this price point, is what makes the magical wines of Château Saint Baillon so good. This elegant, beautifully crisp, seasonal favourite is always our biggest seller each summer and for good reason. |

Vinous (96)I am utterly blown away by the 2010 Alpilles Rouge, a re-release from the winery’s cellar. Still so fresh and vibrant, the 2010 is just stunning in its beauty today. Time in bottle has brought with it lovely complexity, especially in the aromatics. On the palate, though, the 2010 is so young. Swaths of tannin and bright acids suggest the 2010 still needs time to be at its best. As for the wine’s pedigree and quality, those are unmistakably world-class. Readers who can find the 2010 should not hesitate. It’s one of the rare values in fine, ageworthy red wine. This bottle was released from the domaine in 2020. |

As an eminent expression of Provençal wine, Trevallon Alpilles Rouge 2016 is born of balance and subtlety. This masterpiece hails from the sought-after appellation of Les Alpilles at the iconic Domaine de Trevallon. A jewel amongst French viticulture, the domaine meticulously employs organic practices and low yields, resulting in exceptional quality. Trevallon Alpilles Rouge 2016 is an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, each conveying their unique personality whilst harmonising beautifully. The wine evolves over 24 months in oak, culminating in an intense, robust character with an elegant finish. Its palate reveals a melange of black fruits, herbal notes and a whispering spice. Produced by Eloi Dürrbach in the heart of Provence, Trevallon Alpilles Rouge 2016 reflects the rich, diverse terroir of its birthplace. Dürrbach's commitment to minimal intervention, both in the vineyard and the cellar, honours the natural essence of the wine, offering a true taste of Provence's finesse. A true connoisseur's delight, Trevallon Alpilles Rouge 2016 personifies articulate winemaking. |
