Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
IGP from north-west Hérault crossing the Minervois La Livinière (13 communes, plots at 250–350 m on south-facing terraces and slopes at the edge of the causse, varied schist-marl-limestone-molasse soils, Mediterranean with hot dry summers tempered by dry north-west winds). Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as southern signature varieties in full-bodied reds — profiles of red and black fruits, garrigue and spices, with good altitude-preserved acidity.
