Fresh and aromatic whites with an ample palate and preserved acidity despite the sun, on discreet aromas of white flowers (broom), citrus, exotic fruits, fennel and saline marine notes. Very late-ripening, retaining freshness in hot climates. Essential component of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, white Côtes-du-Rhône and Bandol blanc, and the absolute signature of La Clape AOC. Native southern French variety with very late ripening.
IGP from north-west Hérault crossing the Minervois La Livinière (13 communes, plots at 250–350 m on south-facing terraces and slopes at the edge of the causse, varied schist-marl-limestone-molasse soils, Mediterranean with hot dry summers tempered by dry north-west winds). Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as southern signature varieties in full-bodied reds — profiles of red and black fruits, garrigue and spices, with good altitude-preserved acidity.
