Syrah
Main features : a variety of great character with abundant vegetation. Although there are variations depending on the area and the year, flowering usually takes place between June 5th and 15th, and the grapes ripen between September 15th and October 10th (8 days before Grenache black in the South). This variety prefers a mild and consistent climate. Syrah is the only red variety used in the northern Côtes du Rhône Crus and, owing to its aromatic richness and deep colour, it is now increasingly used in southern Côtes du Rhône.

Mourvèdre
Main features : of average productivity, this variety flowers between June 5 and June 15 and the grapes ripen from the beginning of October. Southern regions are preferable as it requires considerable warmth and light, particularly at the end of its ripening period.
Although sensitive to wind, it requires small but regular amounts of water.
œnological potential : Its tannins are ideal for red wines and the intensity and quality of its aromas increase with age. This variety has antioxidant properties, which have resulted in it being used to prolong the freshness and enrich the aroma of some rosés.
Use : Gigondas (15 % minimum of grape varieties blended with Syrah), Côtes du Rhône Villages red (with Syrah of 20 % minimum), Côtes du Rhône red and rosés and Costières de Nimes, Coteaux du Tricastin, Côtes du Luberon and Côtes du ventoux.
