Var Wines — Fresh and Aromatic from Provence

Discover Var Wines

The Var appellation, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, encompasses wines produced in the Var department, at the heart of Provençal viticulture. Renowned primarily for its fresh and aromatic rosé wines, this appellation also produces well-balanced and characterful red and white wines that reflect a generous, sun-kissed terroir.

Terroir and Characteristics

The terroir of Var features diverse soils combining clay, limestone, and marl, enhanced by a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. The emblematic grape varieties for reds are Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, while whites are made from Rolle (Vermentino), Ugni Blanc, and Clairette. These factors create wines that fully express the unique features of the Provençal climate and soils.

Wine Profile

Var red wines are characterized by their power and roundness, with sophisticated aromas of red and black fruits, spices, and sometimes hints of garrigue. The white wines display remarkable freshness, floral and fruity notes, and a beautiful minerality. The rosés perfectly embody the Provençal style: light, fruity, delicate, and refreshing, ideal for warm weather.

Food Pairings

Var wines pair wonderfully with Mediterranean cuisine. They are an excellent match for grilled fish, composed salads, white meats, tapas, and goat cheeses. Their balance and accessibility make them perfect both as an aperitif and during convivial meals.
