Presentation
Presentation
The terroir of the appellation 'Côtes de Provence' presents a complex geology. Two main geological features coexist in the Côtes de Provence: limestone to the north and west and crystalline to the south and east. The western and northern parts of the Côtes de Provence are composed of foothills and limestone ridges sculpted by erosion. To the east, the crystalline massifs of Maures and Estérel stand facing the sea. These are composed in part of rocks of eruptive origins.
