Western Provence around Aix and Les Baux has a more inland feel than the coast. Limestone outcrops, olive groves and wind shape the setting for Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence and Les Baux-de-Provence. The Alpilles sit at the heart of this area, where reds and rosés are described as more structured, with a herbal character that sets them apart from Provence's coastal rosé image.
