There are three colours of wine from Les Baux-de-Provence. Of the wines from the AOP area, 53% are red, 39% rosé and 8% white.
The full-bodied, fruity reds bear the badge of elegance. They are seductive in their softly blended tannins, fresh and intense, combining body and length. Their aromas reveal a wild and powerful edge, dominated by small black fruits, spices and the garrigue scrubland, giving way to light chocolate notes at the end.
The rosés are ideal for the table. These balanced wines have pleasing notes of red fruits, crushed strawberry or gooseberry, with a spicy zing. Freshness, delicacy and complexity are their main characteristics. Produced by the saignée method, they have a darker pink colouring and are most suited for drinking with food. Their bouquet is surprisingly lively, demonstrating delicacy and complexity.
The rarer whites reveal a broad aromatic palette, mixing yellow fruits, citrus, exotic fruits, white flowers and honey, at times giving way to a slight note of bitterness. They draw their mineral character from the depths of the limestone terroir.

On a weekend in September, explore the riches of the vineyards on the southern and northern slopes of the Alpilles. Wine-growers from the ten estates within the AOP Les Baux-de-Provence open the doors of their farmhouses and châteaux to give participants an intimate and friendly glimpse behind the scenes of the appellation.
The Rallye des Vignerons des Baux is a fun car rally, punctuated by visits to wine cellars and olive-oil mills. The estates each devise an activity, such as an introduction to tasting, quizzes matching wine with foods, vinification methods, etc. and provide a lunch served on long tables.
In the heart of the sumptuous Massif des Alpilles, Domaine ODDO Vallon des Glauges produces aromatic, well-balanced organic wines and an exceptional olive oil, reflecting the unique character of its terroir.
