Discover the grape variety: Raisaine
Most certainly Ardéchoise, formerly cultivated in the region of Privas, Aubenas, Joyeuse and Largentière. It is the result of a natural intra-specific crossing between the black ribier and the red grec. Today, Raisaine is totally absent from the vineyards and is therefore in danger of disappearing, although it is listed in the Official Catalogue of Wine Grapes, list A.

The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.
