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.
Languedoc cru between Beziers and Saint-Pons, signature dual terroir. Fleshy Mediterranean reds with notes of black fruit (blackberry, black cherry), garrigue, pepper, liquorice and spice, firm tannins and a sun-drenched palate. Northern schists: fruitier, smokier profile. Southern clay-limestone: more structured wines.
