Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.
AOC in western Languedoc on the foothills of the Montagne Noire, unique transition climate between Atlantic (Cers) and Mediterranean (Marin). Original rule: blend of Atlantic varieties (Cabernet, Merlot) and southern (Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault), each ≥40%. 85% powerful, elegant reds with wild strawberry, prune, blackcurrant, blackberry, garrigue, pepper and spice, firm tannins and fresh palate — fascinating dual personality. Gourmet rosés complement.
