Wines made from Aranel grapes of France
Discover the best wines made with Aranel as a single variety or as a blend of France.
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity. Understated aromas of citrus (lemon), white fruits (apple), white flowers and herbaceous notes. Thirst-quenching profile, best drunk young. Grown in Languedoc-Roussillon and the South-West for IGP wines, used in modern southern blends. Productive French white grape obtained in 1962 at Montpellier by Paul Truel, a cross of Saint-Pierre Doré × Grenache Blanc.
France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is arguably the world's largest wine-producing country. For centuries, it has produced more wine - and apparently better quality - than any other country. Wine is embedded in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. However, the lasting appeal of French wine is not necessarily its Volume or prestige, but rather the variety of styles available.
