Languedoc
With more than 300 days of sun per year and mild winters, Provence
benefits from a lovely Mediterranean climate that is perfect for growing
grapes. The region is most famous for its pale pink rosé (although
there are also great red and white wines to be found). With its delicate
colour, wonderful freshness and light fruity flavour, Provençal rosé
really is the perfect drink for a hot summer’s day and a must-have wine
for a yacht. The wine is usually made from a blend of grape varieties
including Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache.
Domaines Ott is the most famous producer in the region, however
recently there has been a renaissance in high quality rosé, so there
are many other excellent producers to choose from including Château
d’Esclans and Château Gassier. There is a lot of innovation happening
here, with winemakers experimenting with the use of oak, organic
farming and biodynamics.
