Terroir & Techniques: The Science of Rosé in Provence

The Wine Thieves' bid a fond farewell to Provence with an in-depth look at the terroir and techniques that make the rosé of the region so distinctive. We visit the Centre du Rosé in Vidauban and speak to researchers Nathalie Pouzalgues and Matthias Bougreau. Their mission? To carry out high-level scientific research and experiments on rosé wine to better understand terroir, grape varieties and to achieve greater mastery of wine-making and conservation techniques. From thiols to terpenes, experimental new varieties, technology, appellation idiosyncracies, climate change and more, we get a backstage pass to Provence.
