And within these regions, you have smaller appellations.
NickHOST
Uh, like, for instance, I didn't know that Cassis was an appellation within Provence.
CharlesHOST
You know what? I didn't know either.
NickHOST
But the, the only one I knew existed before doing these little re- researches was Bandol.

Ben BernheimGUEST
But in, in the bits of Provence that are made, that say Côtes de Provence on the label, there is no lavender.
Ben BernheimGUEST
In, in Bandol or Cassis, which is one of France's oldest appellations, there's no lavender.
Ben BernheimGUEST
It just doesn't grow there.
Ben BernheimGUEST
And there's this idea of what is Provence? We have this idea of Provence is little medieval villages, lots of stone houses and lavender fields and Peter Mayle, and that's one Provence.
Liz GabayGUEST
I think transport is a very, very important thing.
Liz GabayGUEST
So vineyards along the coast, Bandol, Cassis had Marseille, they had the big naval port of Toulon, that was very important, and the Rhone.
Liz GabayGUEST
So you've got that L shape, the Rhone, and then going east along the coast, There was a lot of big market.
Liz GabayGUEST
People could do things.

Ben BernheimGUEST
In Bandol, they pick it when it's still green because they want something acidic and fresh and zippy.
Liz GabayGUEST
But interesting because I had a very good conversation with one of the Cassis producers on LinkedIn yesterday.
Liz GabayGUEST
And he was saying the trouble is to change an appellation takes 10 years.
Ben BernheimGUEST
And then limestone, but not that sort of limestone.
Ben BernheimGUEST
And there's not that many... differences in Provence, but there's just about enough that there's only one place, there's only one or two spots that make coastal limestone, and that's pretty much Bandol and Cassis, and one of which is always white, one of which

often red.
