For over 25 centuries, vines have been part of the scenery in the hinterland of Provence. Let yourself be surprised by the delicate notes of the best <strong>C\u00f4te de Provence estate<\/strong> to be enjoyed in the shade of a hundred-year-old beech tree, for example.<\/p>\n<h2>The C\u00f4tes de Provence terroir<\/h2>\n<p>Designating an appellation, the <strong>C\u00f4te de Provence estate<\/strong> is defined by both its territory and its ancestral know-how.<\/p>\n<h3>Perfect geological features<\/h3>\n<p>Wines produced by a <strong>C\u00f4te de Provence estate<\/strong> come from vines planted in three different areas of Provence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mont Sainte-Victoire to the west,<\/li>\n<li>the Est\u00e9rel massif to the east,<\/li>\n<li>and the southern slopes between Toulon, Pignans and Bormes-les-Mimosas to the south.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The particularity of these <strong>C\u00f4te de Provence estate<\/strong> are due to their geological differences.

The grape varieties of Provence have contributed to the worldwide renown of French viticulture.<\/p>\n<h2>AOC C\u00f4tes-de-Provence<\/h2>\n<p>Since ancient times, this region in the south of France has had a special relationship with the vine. So it's only natural that the 19,300 hectares of vines in Provence have a quality label, and their appellations are controlled and protected.<\/p>\n<h3>Definition<\/h3>\n<p>L'<strong>AOC<\/strong> enables consumers to identify products whose origin and method of production have been subject to a certain number of quality criteria.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/oeforgood.com\/pages\/plan-regions-appellations-cotes-de-provence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Appellation d'Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e<\/strong><\/a> guarantees the origin of the production and processing of a food product - wine, cheese or meat, for example.
