Luberon is a sub-region of the southern Rhône in France, set among the hills of the Luberon massif between the Rhône valley and Provence. WineFortune currently tracks one wine here, a still red under the AOP designation, from the producer Marrenon.
The reds of the Luberon are built chiefly on Grenache and Syrah, often joined by Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. The style is typically supple and aromatic, with garrigue herbs and ripe dark fruit, shaped by a Mediterranean climate cooled by altitude and the mistral wind.
The appellation holds AOP status within the broader Rhône family. No WineFortune index median is published for the Luberon at present, as the tracked wine has not yet been indexed; the index, where shown, is the median per 75 cl bottle built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days.
