Table grape variety with long bunches, spherical black-violet berries, thick skin and crunchy flesh, with a sweet, neutral and juicy flavour. Very rarely vinified. Grown in southern France, Italy, Spain and the Maghreb, it remains one of the most appreciated table grapes for its beautiful appearance and pleasant taste. French black table grape obtained in 1860, cross of Gros Colman × Lady Downe's Seedling.

The wine region of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Provencal IGP at altitude (temperate climate): Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon signature reds (78%) — spiced and fruity Syrah notes, Grenache roundness, Mourvèdre structure, supple or structured tannins for ageing. Fruity rosés (15%). Lively, expressive whites (7%) with floral notes from Clairette, Vermentino, Chardonnay and Muscat Blanc.
The wine region of Méditerranée
Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
The word of the wine: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
