What are the typical grape varieties used in Provence rosé wines?
Provence rosé wines are crafted from a palette of grape varieties emblematic of the region. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah often form the base of the blends, contributing roundness, finesse and structure respectively. Mourvèdre, deeply rooted in the Bandol appellation, adds complexity and aging potential. Tibouren, a grape variety almost exclusive to Provence, offers highly characteristic floral and iodine notes. It is this diversity of grape varieties, often carefully blended, that gives Provençal rosés their delicate aromatic profile and their beautiful lingering finish.
