    Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

    Alpes-de-Haute-Provence red, white, and rosé wines hold Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP or Protected Geographic Indication) status. The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region lies within southeast France, in a mountainous area near the Mediterranean coast.

    Winemakers in the region produce still red, white, and rosé wines. Prior to 2009, the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department was covered by the Vin de Pays des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence denomination. However, this was phased out. The wines are protected and classified as IGP wines. There is an AOC within the region known as Coteaux de Pierrevert, which achieved its status in 1998.


    Production

    The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region is mountainous, partially borders north-western Italy, and is close to the Mediterranean coast. The Durance river runs through the region. Grapes are grown in scattered vineyards across the slopes of the valley by the river. The Alps protect the vineyards from harsh weather, while warm mountain winds and cool Mediterranean Sea breezes pass through.

    The grapes grow on high altitudes with diurnal temperature shifts. During the day, temperatures get quite warm with the sun exposure. However, at night the temperature drops significantly. The grapes develop sugars during hot days and retain freshness during cool nights. The result is an aromatic and light wine.

    Grape Varieties & Classification

    Nearly half of the production of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence wines are rosé Provencal blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. Vermentino is also used in some rosé blends in the region. Approximately one quarter of the production of wines in the region are red blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault.

    Grenache and the occasional Pinot Noir are produced and sold as single varietal red wines. Vermentino / Rolle and Viognier are produced and sold as single varietal white wines. Occasionally, you find Grenache-Syrah blends as well.

    Viognier is also used for blending with Syrah grapes similar to what you’d see in Northern Rhône. It can help round out the wine and offer floral characteristics. Winemakers are increasingly starting to grow and produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines due to their familiarity and popularity among consumers.

    FAQ

    Where is Alpes-de-Haute-Provence?

    Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is in south-eastern France within Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The region is close to the Mediterranean coast. A small section of the region
    borders north-western Italy.

    What makes Alpes-de-Haute-Provence wine unique?

    Alpes-de-Haute-Provence wine is unique because of the climate and conditions in which grapes are grown. The Durance river runs through the region and the grapes are grown on the slopes of the valley. Diurnal temperature shifts cause grapes to develop sugars and ripen during hot summer days. When the temperature cools at night, freshness is retained. The result is an aromatic, light, and fresh wine.

    Which food groups pair well with Alpes-de-Haute-Provence wine?

    Alpes-de-Haute-Provence red wines are bold and earthy. They pair beautifully with lamb and pork dishes. The rosé and white wines are fruity, fresh, and floral. They pair well with salads and light dishes. They are also excellent summer sipping wines to be enjoyed as aperitifs.

    What style of wine is Alpes-de-Haute-Provence?

    Alpes-de-Haute-Provence wines are light and aromatic. The grapes grow on slopes with a large diurnal range of temperatures. Hot daytime temperatures allow the grapes to ripen and develop sugars. At night, the altitude causes the temperature to drop significantly. During this time, the grapes retain acidity which results in a fresh, light, and aromatic wine.
