Mont Caume: Domaine de la Garenne White

A vast area in south-eastern France, stretching from Arles to Nice and from the Luberon to the Alpes-Maritimes in the foothills of the Alps. Its wines are shaped by the warm Mediterranean climate and the famous 'mistral' wind, which plays an integral part in keeping the vineyards healthy. Provence produces red, white, and rosé, but is above all celebrated for its pale, dry, and elegant rosés, which are in high demand worldwide. With an extraordinary contrast of styles and a growing reputation for quality, the region has a promising future.

Covers red, white, and rosé wines from around the Mont Caume massif in the Var department of Provence, near the coastal town of Bandol in south-eastern France. Sharing its terroir with the prestigious Bandol AOC, it gives growers greater freedom in grape varieties and style, producing characterful wines at accessible quality. The reds and rosés draw chiefly on southern varieties such as Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, while the whites offer fresh, aromatic character.
