Provence

Provence is a renowned wine region in southeastern France stretching from the Rhône River to the Italian border, characterized by its Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, dry summers, and mistral winds. The region is celebrated worldwide for its distinctive pale pink rosé wines (accounting for about 80% of production), primarily crafted from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Tibouren grapes. While rosé dominates, Provence also produces noteworthy red wines in areas like Bandol and crisp whites from varieties including Rolle (Vermentino), Sémillon, and Ugni Blanc.

Les Hauts Plateaux Rose

Les Hauts Plateaux

Rosé

Les Hauts Plateaux Rosé embodies the Provençal art of rosé-making – pale, elegant, and utterly refreshing. From the sun-drenched hills of southern France comes this classic blend of Grenache and Cinsault that captures summer in a bottle, regardless of when you open it. What makes this rosé special is its perfect balance between fruit and savory elements – there's plenty of delicate berry notes, but they're complemented by that distinctive herbal quality that speaks clearly of its Mediterranean origins. It's dry without being austere, fruity without being sweet – hitting that perfect middle ground that makes Provence rosés so universally appealing. While some rosés feel like simple poolside sippers, this one has enough complexity to take to the dinner table. It's the kind of pink wine that reminds you why French rosé became the global standard – they simply do it better.

Sparkling

Not all French sparkling wine comes from Champagne – and this bottle from Baron de Breban proves that's a very good thing for both your palate and your wallet. Made in the traditional method (the same as Champagne) but from the sun-kissed vineyards of Provence, this Brut offers serious quality and pleasure without the premium price tag. Baron de Breban has been crafting wines in Provence since 1952, bringing generations of expertise to their sparkling production. The result is a wine with the elegance and refinement you expect from French bubbles, but with a touch of Mediterranean warmth and generosity. It's perfect for celebrations, of course, but priced reasonably enough that Wednesday night can become a celebration. Why wait for a special occasion when the wine itself can be the special occasion? Keep a bottle in the fridge for impromptu toasts or moments that deserve a little extra sparkle.
