Gifting a wine from the Côte d'Azur: Bellet, Bandol, Cassis, Palette

For a company based in Nice, Monaco, or the Var, gifting a wine from the region is a simple way to personalize a gift. Beyond rosé, Provence boasts remarkable and lesser-known appellations, ideal for a gift set.

Bellet, the wine of Nice

Bellet is one of the smallest appellations in France, located on the hills west of Nice. Production is limited and largely consumed locally. Whites, made from Rolle, are the most renowned; reds rely on rare grape varieties such as Folle Noire and Braquet. Offering a Bellet to a client outside the region introduces them to a wine they are unlikely to find elsewhere.

Bandol, the great red of Provence

On the Var coast, Bandol produces reds dominated by Mourvèdre, structured and suitable for aging. It is one of the few wines in the region truly built for cellaring, making it an excellent choice for a connoisseur recipient. Bandol rosés, more structured than average, also pair exceptionally well with meals.

Cassis, the coastal white

Between Marseille and La Ciotat, Cassis is primarily a white wine appellation, fresh and saline, made mainly from Marsanne and Clairette. A popular choice for a gift set combining a white and a red wine.

Palette, the Aix rarity

On the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence, Palette is a tiny appellation known to wine lovers for its age-worthy wines, both white and red. A bottle for the most discerning recipients.

Curating a regional gift set

A 'Riviera' gift set can combine a white from Bellet or Cassis with a red from Bandol, accompanied by a card introducing both appellations. For a recipient based abroad or outside the region, it is a gift that highlights your local territory.
