Laurent | about the guide

A major symbol of Provence and a favorite subject of Cézanne, Montagne St. Victoire rises to 1011 meters in the heart of the region.

We’ll discover the villages on the slopes of Montagne St. Victoire.

There are between 3 to 5 wineries to visit and 10 to 20 wines to taste.

You will taste different types of wine:
Whites :
The colors range from pale to brilliant yellows with green reflections. The nose is floral (fennel, acacia, broom), fruity (citrus, lemon, grapefruit), or balsamic (resin). The mouth sensation is structured, a bit sharp with a fresh finish.
Rosés :
A wide-ranging palette from pale and salmon pinks to bright orange. The nose reflects a mosaic of climates and soils: Fruity, floral (thyme, dill, lime), vegetable (mint, tobacco), empyreumatic (flint), balsamic (pine bark). The mouth finish is fresh but not sharp. Melted but not hot. Round, soft and structured but not astringent.
Reds :
Rich reds, purple hues. The nose is fruity (red fruits) or vegetable (laurel, rosemary, tobacco) progressing to black fruit with spicy notes. (licorice, cinnamon) or animal (fur, venison).

Marseille

languages :
Anglais/English, Français/French

A native of Lille, I spent over 20 years in Paris before deciding to settle in Marseille, attracted by the climate and the charm of the Mediterranean. During my years in the capital, I was an actor but also an oenologist and restaurant owner, developing my passion and my skills in several renowned institutions. Since my arrival on the French Riviera, I specialized in tourism by offering tours combining wine, gastronomy and history, especially from Marseille, Aix en Provence and Cassis. I love to share my knowledge with people, being outside and exploring sites full of culture and history. I also sometimes offer mini wine courses and cooking courses in order to teach curious visitors how to combine wine and food. During my private tours, discover the culinary delights of the South of France between tapas, pastries and olive oil, as well as the most scenic places from Cassis to Arles via Les Baux de Provence.
