Powerful, deep reds with firm tannins and dense texture, showing aromas of blackberry, leather, garrigue, black pepper, liquorice and animal notes (game, forest floor) with age. Star of Bandol AOC as a single variety and pillar of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Costières blends. Also in GSM in Languedoc and Australia. A late-ripening variety of Spanish origin (Mataró/Monastrell).
Southern Beaujolais AOC on the Monts du Lyonnais, granite and schist soils, semi-continental climate. Signature Gamay as red king (whole-cluster Beaujolais-style): gulpable and fruity with red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, banana and peppery touch, fine tannins and thirst-quenching palate — accessible juicy quaffer. Also fresh, gourmand rosés. Chardonnay and Aligoté as confidential whites (apple, citrus, blossom).
