Polymorphic family (blanc, gris and noir, mutations of the same variety) yielding crisp, saline whites with citrus, white flowers, fennel and iodine notes, or light fruity reds. Refreshing palate with preserved acidity under warm conditions. Traditional component of Picpoul de Pinet AOC, present in Languedoc, Côtes-du-Rhône AOC and Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC (terret noir authorised). Very old Languedoc autochthonous variety, signature of Mediterranean coastal terroirs.
Largest AOC in Languedoc, 95% Mediterranean reds. Signature old-vine Carignan (up to 60%): fleshy reds with black fruit, garrigue, black olive, spice and tight tannins. Blended with round, sunny Grenache, peppery Syrah, dense Mourvèdre and supple Cinsault. A few fresh rosés and whites (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne).
