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.

Widely exported to Australia as Shiraz (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Cross of dureza × mondeuse blanche.
Tiny Provençal AOC (1948) near Aix-en-Provence, on calcareous scree slopes of Langesse in a sheltered cirque. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault (≥80%) as signature reds and rosés: rich notes of red fruits, garrigue, spices, leather and balsamic touch, firm tannins and warm mouthfeel. Rare Clairette-based white (≥55%): floral, honey, almond, white truffle, anise and evolving balsamic touch, excellent for ageing. Legendary Château Simone.
