Wines made from Grenache Gris grapes of Minervois
Discover the best wines made with Grenache Gris as a single variety or as a blend of Minervois.
Structured and rich whites and rosés with a pale salmon or golden robe, full mouthfeel and moderate acidity, with aromas of yellow fruits (pear, peach), candied citrus, white flowers, fennel, garrigue and schist mineral notes. Good ageing potential. Star of the great identity whites of Roussillon (Côtes du Roussillon AOC, Collioure AOC) on schist soils. A grey-skinned mutation of the Aragonese Grenache Noir.
Mediterranean Languedoc reds (84% of output) north of the Canal du Midi. Signature Syrah with notes of blackberry, violet, black pepper and garrigue, blended with dense Mourvèdre, sunny Grenache (candied red fruits, spices) and old-vine Carignan (black fruits, dry herbs, firm tannins). Fleshy palate, freshness at altitude. Minervois-La Livinière cru at the top (1999), dense and age-worthy.
