Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence

The Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) covers nearly 3,500 hectares of vineyards located in the western part of the limestone region of Provence. The Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation covers an area stretching from the Durance River to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the Rhône Valley in the west to the Sainte-Victoire mountain in the east.

The Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appell ation enjoys a Mediterranean climate, marked by the Mistral, a cold, dry north wind. It enjoys an average of 2,900 hours of sunshine per year, with low rainfall concentrated mainly in spring and fall.

By decree of December 24, 1985, the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) finally crowned the winegrowers' efforts and perseverance in pursuit of quality. Contributing to the renown of Provence, where they are deeply rooted, the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence wines are now appreciated by enthusiasts around the world, thanks in particular to the quality of wines produced by estates such as Château Revelette, Château Vignelaure, and Château Calissanne.
