In the south, Grenache noir is blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault to create reds and rosés. Whites are gracefully produced using Grenache blanc, Clairette, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier. Recently, Marselan, a new grape variety, entered the composition of reds.

Thanks to the diversity of its soils, grape varieties, climates and exposures, the Rhône Valley produces a diversity of red, white and rosé wines.

Whether fruity, full-bodied, spicy, robust, structured... red wines pair well with all kinds of cuisines, from barbecue to rich dishes in sauces.

Floral or fruity, lively or round, whites are also magnificently paired with a wide range of recipes. Rosés, whether fresh and fruity, or spicy and flavourful, are known for their multiple delicious styles.
