The appeal lies in the far south of the French wine-growing region Provence on the Mediterranean coast. It is named after the name of the port from which the wines were previously shipped with a "B" on the barrels in the world. The wine goes back up here before the arrival of the Romans in 125 BC The vineyards cover about 1,500 hectares in eight communities. In particular, the red wines are among the best of Provence. They are a blend of at least two varieties of Mourvèdre (at least 50%), Grenache and Cinsault, and a maximum total of 15% or 10% each of Syrah and Carignan blended. The Rosé is made of the same species, but produced no prescribed Mindesanteil. The white wine is made at least 60% Bourboulenc, Clairette, Ugni Blanc, and a maximum of 40% Sauvignon Blanc. Well-known producers are Domaine Barthes, Château des Baumelles, La Bastide Blanche, Domaine Castell Reynoard, Domaine de Fregate, Domaine de l'Hermitage, Domaine Lafran-Veyrolles, Domaine de la Laidière, Château de Pibarnon , Château de Salettes, Château la Rouvière, Domaine Sorin, Domaine la Suffrene, and Domaine Tempier Domaine Vannières.
