Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence

The Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOC covers nearly 3,500 hectares of vineyards, with the appellation's territory located in the western part of the limestone region of Provence. The Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation covers a territory stretching from the Durance River to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the Rhône Valley in the west to Montagne Sainte-Victoire in the east.

The Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation benefits from a Mediterranean climate, characterized by the Mistral, a prevailing cold and dry north wind. It enjoys an average annual sunshine duration of 2,900 hours, and the light rainfall is mainly concentrated in the spring and fall.

By decree of December 24, 1985, the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) finally crowned the winemakers' efforts toward quality and their perseverance. Contributing to the renown of this Provence region in which they are deeply rooted, the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence wines are now appreciated by wine lovers around the world, particularly thanks to the quality of the wines produced by estates such as Château Revelette, Château Vignelaure, and Château Calissanne.
