Trade education series with CIVP, the Provence Wine Council

Sell Provence rosé with confidence.

Two webinars on the 2024 vintage and the terroir behind it, the official Vins de Provence guide, the appellation map, and the exact wine lists to taste along. Free, and nothing to sign up for.

For buyers, sommeliers and distributor reps who need to explain why one Provence rosé is not the next.

Start with your region

Same 2024 vintage, same terroir foundations. Each session was recorded for its own market, so the trade context and the wines poured differ. Pick the one that matches your book.

2024 vintage and terroir — Western U.S.

  • What the 2024 growing season did to structure and aromatics
  • How coastal and inland sites taste differently in the glass
  • The varieties behind the blend, and why the blend matters

2024 vintage and terroir — Eastern U.S.

  • The same vintage read through East Coast trade context
  • Appellation differences your guests can actually taste
  • Where Provence sits against the rest of the rosé set

Three appellations, three different wines

The fastest way to stop a customer saying rosé is rosé. Where a wine sits between the Rhône and the Mediterranean changes what lands in the glass.

Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence

The western end, around Aix and into the Bouches-du-Rhône. Mistral-swept, open country.

Coteaux Varois en Provence

Inland and higher, in the hills around Brignoles. Cooler nights, and it shows.

Côtes de Provence

The largest, running from near Marseille to Villars-sur-Var, with named sub-zones including Sainte-Victoire, Fréjus, La Londe, Pierrefeu and Notre-Dame des Anges.
