Cotes de Provence La Londe

The Cotes de Provence La Londe appellation covers more than 150 hectares shared among Bormes les Mimosas, La Crau, Hyeres and La Londe les Maures in the Provence wine region. The vines benefit from a Mediterranean climate and are grown in various soils mainly composed of phyllade (slate or clay schist), pebble, sandstone, quartzite or ancient alluvial deposits. The Cotes de Provence La Londe appellation produces rosé (Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvedre, etc.), white (Rolle, Clairette, Semillon, Ugni Blanc) and red wines (Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah, etc.). The rosés develop various fruity aromas (yellow fruit and exotic fruit) and are both mineral and round. The whites are fresh and reveal citrus, yellow fruit and white flower aromas. Finally, the Cotes de Provence La Londe reds are quite fruity and spicy on the nose while offering fine and elegant ripe tannins on the palate.Read More
