The Palette Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is a true gem of the Provence region in France. Nestled near Aix-en-Provence, this small appellation, covering only 46 hectares, is renowned for its unique terroir and exceptional wines. Palette wines benefit from a Mediterranean climate with continental influences, promoting optimal grape maturation.
The grape varieties used for red and rosé wines include local varieties such as Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Cinsault, while the whites are primarily crafted from Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Picardan. Palette red wines are distinguished by their aromatic richness, often marked by notes of dark fruits, spices, and garrigue. The white wines, on the other hand, are recognised for their freshness and complexity, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and honey.
The authenticity and rarity of Palette wines make them treasures for any wine collection. For wine enthusiasts and cellar managers, this appellation represents a reliable choice, bringing unmatched diversity and quality to any inventory.
