Wines from Les Caves du Commandeur: A Selection by Color
Wines from Les Caves du Commandeur, crafted under the prestigious designations Côtes de Provence, Coteaux Varois en Provence, and IGP Var, are the pure expression of the Provençal terroir. Each color — red, rosé, or white — reveals a different facet of the region’s unique character, offering a rich spectrum of flavors and aromas.
Côtes de Provence Red Wine: Richness and Depth
An Exceptional Wine from a Unique Terroir
Côtes de Provence red wines benefit from ideal Mediterranean conditions and diverse soils, allowing for the production of richly aromatic wines. The careful blending of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre results in bold yet refined wines. Thanks to warm, sunny days and cool nights, grapes ripen slowly, enhancing aromatic complexity.
At Les Caves du Commandeur, sustainable and respectful viticulture is central to our approach. Grapes are handpicked and carefully sorted, then vinified under optimal conditions. The result is a meticulously crafted red wine offering an outstanding tasting experience.
Intense Aromas and a Full Body
Our red wines stand out for their aromatic depth. Notes of ripe red fruits—cherry, raspberry, blackberry—are complemented by hints of pepper, licorice, and leather. Over time, the wines evolve, revealing even greater complexity.
On the palate, they are structured and full-bodied, with silky, well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, making them suitable for aging. Ideal pairings include grilled meats, rich stews, game, or aged cheeses.
Côtes de Provence Rosé: Lightness and Freshness
A World-Renowned Rosé
Côtes de Provence rosé is one of the most iconic wines in the world — a true symbol of Mediterranean lifestyle. Delicate, pale in color, and refreshingly fruity, it is crafted from local varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and occasionally Mourvèdre.
Careful Vinification for an Exceptional Rosé
The winemaking process is crucial in delivering the signature style of Provence rosé. Direct pressing ensures the purity of fruit aromas and limits tannin extraction, resulting in wines with a pale color and fresh, elegant profile.
The rosés from Les Caves du Commandeur reveal notes of red berries, white flowers, and subtle citrus hints like grapefruit or lemon. On the palate, they are lively, silky, and refreshing, with a long, pleasant finish — perfect as an aperitif or paired with summer salads, seafood, or grilled fish.
Côtes de Provence White: Freshness and Minerality
A Refined Alternative to Classic Whites
Often overlooked, white wines from Provence deserve greater attention. Made primarily from Vermentino (Rolle), they are defined by their freshness, elegance, and aromatic finesse.
Subtle Aromas and a Distinct Mineral Profile
Côtes de Provence white wines offer an expressive bouquet of citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) and white flowers like acacia and orange blossom. The mineral character of the terroir adds tension and vibrancy, making these wines especially refreshing.
On the palate, they balance bright acidity with a silky texture, ideal with light dishes such as fish, shellfish, fresh cheeses, or as an elegant aperitif.
