Created in 2005, the
Cotes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation is in the
Provence wine region and is spread over more than
500 hectares. Enjoying a climate with continental influences, the vines are planted in soils consisting of clay, limestone, and sandstone. The Cotes de Provence Sainte-Victoire produces rosé (
Cinsault,
Grenache,
Syrah) and red wines (
Grenache,
Syrah,
Cabernet Sauvignon). The rosés develop
tart red fruit (cherry and raspberry) aromas with subtle
menthol and
spicy notes. They are
round in the mouth and have a
tart, persistent finish. The Cotes de Provence Sainte-Victoire red wines have
black fruit (blackberry and blueberry),
leather,
forest floor and
fruit steeped in alcohol aromas. On the palate, the wines have a
dense mouthfeel with
rich, lively tannins.
