The Wine Thieves make their way to the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation and chat with winemaker Philippe Bru of Château Vignelaure about ageworthy rosé, the importance of altitude and evidence of 2,600 years of wine history in Provence. Take a virtual stroll through quintessential Provencal town of Aix-en-Provence while picturing the landscapes of Cezanne and Hemingway's favourite watering holes. We'll talk about cabernet-syrah blends, how to properly pair Bouillabaisse with wine and the importance of sustainability in this multi-faceted region.
