Discover the grape variety: Gros Colman
Table grape with long clusters and spherical blue-black berries with thick skin and juicy flesh, with a pleasant sweet taste. Late-ripening. Very rarely vinified. Father of the Alphonse Lavallée. Now marginal in commercial cultivation, it survives in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections for its heritage value and genetic interest. French black table grape variety, grown for fresh consumption in the 19th century.

The wine region of Côtes du Roussillon
Catalan sun and Mediterranean character on the edge of the Pyrenees. Fleshy, sun-soaked reds with signature notes of candied black fruit (blackberry, plum), garrigue, pepper, liquorice and dark chocolate, firm tannins and generous warmth. Blends of Grenache (roundness), Syrah (spice), old-vine Carignan (power) and dense Mourvèdre. Also sunny rosés and ample whites (Grenache Blanc, Macabeu).
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
