IGP Alpilles

The IGP Alpilles wine tells a fascinating tale of France, particularly the splendour-filled region of Provence. Deriving its name from the rocky, olive-treed foothills of the Alpilles Mountains in the Bouches-du-Rhône, this generous, sun-blessed terroir delivers several vinous treasures to its discerning patrons.

A certified Indication Geographique Protegee (IGP) since 2002, Alpilles falls under the broader category of vins du pays, specifically vin de pays des Alpilles, translating to 'country wine of the Alpilles'. This label confirms the distinctive characteristics of the wines tied to the geographical conditions of this unique land. The hand-reared vineyards are elevated about 200-400 metres above sea level, benefiting from a microclimate marked by sunshine, cool summers, and moderate winters, with the fierce Mistral wind cleansing and nurturing the grapes.

The IGP Alpilles wine collection offers various blends across red, white and rosé. The red varieties display robust flavours, with grapes like Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache weaving an enchanting tapestry of tastes and aromas. Illuminated by Provence's bright light, these wines offer complexities of ripe plum, blackcurrant, violet and spice.

The white variants, using Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc, Marsanne or Roussanne grapes, are harmoniously fragrant while maintaining a refreshing minerality, with bolshie notes of citrus fruits and white flowers. The rosé, renowned in Provence, showcases delightful tanginess and crisp, delicate red fruit hints predominately from Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault grapes.

These wines mirror the very soul of Provence, filled with age-old tales, fascinating culture and sun-soaked landscapes. Consummate companions to Mediterranean style cuisine, from olive-stuffed vegetables to aromatic seafood, the IGP Alpilles wines exemplify the region’s harmonious relationship between nature, taste, and passion-filled wine production.
