The Provence Gourmet Box

AOC CÔTES DE PROVENCE, TRADITION ROSÉ, 2014 (75 cl)

AOP Côtes de Provence Domaine GavotyProducer: Domaine Gavoty.

The Gavoty winery, run by Roselyne Gavoty, is first and foremost a family affair. The property was acquired by Philemón Gavoty in 1806, and since then six generations have maintained the tradition of this family business and played a pioneering role in the Provençal wine-making world. We have them to thank for introducing the Vermentino grape (a white variety primarily used in Italian wines, also known as Rolle) and elevating rosé wine to a place of prominence and distinction. The calcareous clay soil and wide temperature ranges of this region add a rich mineral note to their wines. The wine we've selected for this box is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Vermentino and Cabernet grapes. It boasts a delicate pink colour, an aromatic bouquet of red berries, such as strawberry, and a delightfully refreshing mouthfeel. It goes perfectly with salads, spicy dishes and Provençal specialities based on garlic and olive oil.

Terrine Tapenade OréliadesProducer: Les Oréliades.

Since 1982, the family business Les Oréliades, based in the Var town of Salernes, offers a wide variety of Provence's finest gourmet products. All of their recipes, prepared by hand using only local ingredients, are highly original, festive and inspired by tradition. This olive tapenade terrine, with aromas reminiscent of a soft summer breeze, is a savoury blend of black olives, capers and olive oil. We recommend serving it on toast as hors d’oeuvres or the perfect addition to a salad of lettuce, minced onion and caramelized tomato.

Terrine Farigoule OréliadesProducer: Les Oréliades.

Terrine Fleur lavande OréliadesProducer: Les Oréliades.

Jonquier nougats are authentic, traditional sweets with no preservatives or additives.
