Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Portes de Méditerranée"

One of the seven major regional IGP areas for the production of country wines in France. The other six are Atlantique, Comtés Rhodaniens, Comté Tolosan, Pays d'Oc, Terres du Midi and Val de Loire. It was created in 1999 under the name Vin de pays Portes de Méditerranée and renamed in 2009 to its current name Méditerranée (Mediterranean). The area comprises the eight départements of Alpes de Haute-Provence, Alpes Maritimes, Ardèche, Bouches-du-Rhône, Drôme, Hautes-Alpes, Var and Vaucluse in the south-east of mainland France, as well as the two départements of Corse-du-Sud and Haute-Corse on the island of Corsica, which were added later.

Rebflächen

The narrower geographical designations of origin Comté de Grignan and Coteaux de Montélimar can be added to the name Méditerranée. The wine-growing areas are partly part of the wine-growing regions of Provence, Rhône and Corsica. The most important varieties for the red wines produced for the most part, as well as for rosé wines, are Grenache Noir (Garnacha Tinta), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cinsaut, Carignan Noir (Mazuelo), Caladoc and Marselan. The most important white wine varieties are Viognier, Muscat Blanc and Chardonnay. Since 2016, sparkling wines can also be produced.
