The Wines - Some of France's best and most famous wines come from Provence. Soil, grapes and techniques may differ in

the making of the Provence wines but one thing remains the same: the sun.

Half of the rose wine made in France comes from Provence and 80% of the wine made in Provence is rose. Rose from Provence

is dry and fruity. It the perfect summer wine, as an aperitif or with a typical Mediterranean meal. Red wines from Provence

aregenerally quite strong however in some areas they can be light and delicate. White wines are excellent either with the local

seafood or with provencal goat cheeses.

At the Bastide you will find a great choice of Provencal and French with particular attention to the local organic and bio wines.
