Discover the grape variety: Dureza
This grape variety is said to originate in the north of the Ardèche department, but we find it very similar to Duras from the Gaillac region (Tarn). D.N.A. analyses have shown that Syrah is related to Mondeuse Blanche (mother) and Dureza (father). Italian and Swiss researchers have also suggested that Dureza, which is now endangered, is a brother or sister of the Italian variety Teroldego and that Pinot Noir is a close relative. Dureza is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A1. - Synonym: duré or duret (for all the synonyms of the grape varieties, click here!).

About 75% of all Languedoc wines are red, with the remaining 25% split roughly down the middle between whites and rosés. The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.
