Quintessence Coteaux Varois en Provence
Encircled by the CĂ´tes de Provence, the Coteaux Varois en Provence appellation, ten times smaller than its big sister, has a very specific character, due to its terroir and very unique climate.
The vines grow at between 200 and 500 metres altitude, where the winters are harsh and the summers extremely hot, with cooler nights. This alternation of temperatures allows the grapes to ripen slowly and gently, preserving all their aromas.
The Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah grapes are mainly harvested by machine very early in the night in order to ensure that the wine has a lovely pale appearance.
