Rosé de
Provence is the perfect summer wine. The wine is fresh
and fruity. Rosé is a good companion to any
meal that has sun in its roots and specially the food
coming from the Mediterranean Sea and Provence. We
recommend rosé with:
-
Salad (such as Salade niçoise)
- as an aperitif
- with typical food from Provence (Bouillabaisse, Aioli,
Ratatouille, etc)
Full
body red wines from Provence should match with
game and roasted red meat.
White
wines are perfect with local seafood products.
Food
from Provence :
Provence is
one of the few regions the French Wine Guide covers
that has more culinary than wine traditions. Provence
meals are enticed by the local products, the sun almost
all year round and the flavors of the aromatic herbs.
Tomatoes, garlic and olive oils are the most important
ingredients of almost any meal in provence. The most
well know meals are:
-
Bouillabaisse (Marseille fish soup) Bouillabaisse

-
Tomatoes Provencale (tomatoes with bread crumbs and
garlic) Tomatoes
