Varietal Cinsault

Cinsault is an emblematic grape variety of Languedoc Roussillon but it is said to originate from Provence. It has been used to produce mediocre wines in intensive cultivation, particularly in French Algeria. Often used in rosé wines, its lack of colour and suppleness make it the ideal grape variety for its fruity (raspberry, redcurrant) and floral (rose, lime) aromas. Cinsault produces fruity red wines and light, very slightly tannic with a beautiful acidity giving it freshness, very pleasant to drink in summer. In blending, it makes it possible to soften the wines and bring a beautiful harmony. Thus, Cinsault brings a temperance to the exuberance of Grenache and the power of Carignan.
