The wine region of Rhône méridional

Sunny, Mediterranean southern Rhône, kingdom of Grenache Noir. Fleshy, generous reds with signature notes of candied red and black fruits (cherry, plum), garrigue (thyme, rosemary), pepper and sweet spices, round tannins and an opulent palate. Blended with peppery Syrah, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Flagship crus: Châteauneuf-du-Pape on rolled pebbles (powerful, age-worthy), Gigondas, dense Vacqueyras, fleshy Tavel rosé, sweet muscat Beaumes-de-Venise.

The wine region of Rhone Valley

France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).

The word of the wine: Cinsault

Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
