    A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 15% Syrah, the 2017 Cotes de Provence Rose is put together by Les Grand Chais de France for American importer Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits. Led by cherry and grapefruit flavors, it's a silky textured, medium-bodied wine that spent three months on the lees. It finishes zesty and refreshing, with hints of tangy berries and citrus.

    COMMENTARY: The 2017 Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence is a satisfying wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is balanced and refined. Its vivid aromas and flavors of bright red fruit, the essence of minerality, and chalk should pair it well with fresh salmon sashimi. (Tasted: March 20, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

"Fleurs de Prairie" translates as "wildflowers," celebrating the beautiful fields of wisteria, lavender, poppy, and sunflowers carpeting Provence. This wine is sourced from select Provençal vineyards that dot the coastal wind-swept hillsides of the region. The Mediterranean combination of sun, wind, mild water stress, and ocean influence provide ideal conditions for grapes to ripen to the perfect balance of flavor and freshness.

Fleurs de Prairie is sourced from vines planted in clay limestone soil throughout some of the best winegrowing areas in Provence, Var, Bouches de Rhône and Alpes Maritime. The grapes are direct pressed to ensure a light, fresh style and

fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Cotes de Provence Wine

Provence, France

View all products

Cotes de Provence is an extensive but valuable appellation that includes vineyards bordering the main Provencal appellations. Its sites vary from subalpine hills, which receive the cooling effects of the mountains to the north, to the coastal St-Tropez, a region mainly influenced by the warm Mediterranean sunshine.

Here the focus is on quality rosé, as it defines four fifths of the region’s wines. Following in the rosé footsteps, a lot of new effort is going into the region’s red production as well. A new generation has turned its focus on high quality Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan. Cotes de Provence white wines, which represent a miniscule part of the region as far as volume, are nonetheless worthy of consideration and can include any combination of Clairette, Semillon, Ugni Blanc and Vermentino.
