Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOC
Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence is a flexible appellation in the South of France producing red and rose wines from Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and sometimes Counoise. Whites are made from Bourboulenc, Vermentino, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Sauvignon and Sémillon.
Over the last decade or so growers using the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation have worked towards imparting greater typicality in their wines. The wines tend to be aged for much longer in vat during the fermentation process.
