Since January 2004, the Provence Wines Council has grouped together 600 wine producers and negociants for
the Côtes de Provence, Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence and Coteaux Varois en Provence appellations. Its members
represent 96% of the total production of wine in Provence. One of CIVP’s key missions is to communicate and
promote the wines from these three appellations, at home and abroad.
