John and Sara set sail on Provence, navigating the Mediterranean coastline, sampling rosé, structured reds and coveted white wines while speaking to some of the region's top producers. It may come as no surprise that it is continental France's sunniest region but did you know that Provence is the country's oldest wine region? Together we'll discover that rosé is not a new trend but a time-honored tradition and that the appellation is far more varied than most of us imagine. This first episode takes us to the largest of the 3 main appellations of Provence, Côtes de Provence, where we speak with a legend in the region, Romain Ott of Château Léoube, whose pioneering family helped create a legacy of quality wine production that blends modernity with tradition.
