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).
IGP in the Pyrenean foothills (Aude, oceanic-Mediterranean climate, altitude, limestone soils): Chardonnay signature white — elegant and aromatic with notes of fresh fruit, spices and expressive minerality marked by limestone, fresh balance highlighting fruity character and length. Chenin, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon and Viognier complement. Altitude and oceanic influence temper Mediterranean climate, slow ripening, aromatic concentration.
