The wine region of Côtes du Vivarais
Rhodanian AOP above the Ardèche gorges (Gras plateau, argilo-calcareous soils, Mistral, Mediterranean): Grenache and Syrah as signature reds, complemented by Cinsault and Marselan — profile of fleshy dark fruits and spiced notes, fairly firm tannins balanced by pleasant freshness, Grenache providing structure and warmth, Syrah adding a northern peppery note. Grenache Blanc with Clairette, Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne as floral whites.
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: Ample
Said of a generous wine with a rich body that gives an impression of fullness in the mouth.
