La Cave d'Augustin Florent Rose 2020 (6x 750mL), Cotes de Provence

Description:

The Wine:

Provence is a geographical region and historical province of south-eastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône to the west to the Italian border to the east and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It largely corresponds with the modern administrative region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and includes the departments of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, as well as parts of Alpes-Maritimes and Vaucluse. The largest city of the region is Marseille.

Provence is the first Wine Region in the history of France.

IN A GLASS OF PROVENCE WINE, 26 CENTURIES OF HISTORY

When the Phoceans founded Marseille 2,600 years ago, they introduced a fabulous plant for the first time in France: the grapevine. Historically, this makes Provence France’s very first wine region. Since that time, the tradition and art of winemaking have come a long way, but the grape has never left the region!

Four centuries after the Phoceans, in 200 BC, the Romans began to settle on Provençal land. They cultivated grapes and set up the Provincia Romana, now known as Provence. The cities of Aquae Sextiae (Aix-en-Provence) and Forum Julii (Fréjus), and its military port, then arose. As it expanded its Empire, Rome brought grapevines wherever it went. That is how the other Gallic wine regions cropped up after Provence: the Rhône Valley, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Gascony, and Bordeaux.

Grape varieties:

Cinsault

Other Information:

Serve between 10° and 12°C.
