Structured, elegant reds with deep colour, firm tannins, with intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black pepper, violet, smoked meat, black olive and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Star of the great northern Rhône reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Joseph) and pillar of GSM blends in the south (Châteauneuf-du-Pape). Widely exported to Australia as Shiraz (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Cross of dureza × mondeuse blanche.
Provençal jewel between Cassis and Toulon, kingdom of Mourvèdre (50-95% in red). Signature powerful reds with notes of black blackberry, garrigue, pepper, leather, truffle and a balsamic touch, firm tannins and superb ageing (10-30 years) — French benchmark for the grape. Structured, gastronomic rosés (strawberry, citrus, spices) — not a simple aperitif rosé. Rare, mineral Clairette and Bourboulenc whites.
