Cuvée des Lices - AOP Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé 2024

As early as in II BC, the Romans settled on the Ligurian lands that has been colonised four centuries earlier by the Phoceans who founded the city of Massalia, Marseille. They developed winegrowing in the region and created the Provincia Romana: Provence.

Presentation

Presentation
The Terroir included in the production area belongs to the natural region of the "limestone Provence", which is strictly delimited within twenty-eight villages that surround Brignoles. The altitude (350 m average, 500 m for the highest plots) as well as the massifs of Sainte-Baume to the west, Bessillons to the north and Barres de Cuers to the south that protect from maritime influences means that the Coteaux Varois en Provence enjoy a more continental climate.

Cuvée des Lices is the result of the exacting blending carried out by our own teams based on some of the best vats from our partner winegrowers. A wine that rhymes with art de vivre and sharing.
