Originating in Spain, and more precisely in the province of Aragon, Grenache is a grape variety that is often found in the south of France, in the Rhône Valley, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence. Dating back to the Middle Ages, it is considered one of the greatest Mediterranean grape varieties. It is often combined with Mourvèdre and Syrah to produce dry, powerful and generous red wines, aromatic rosés and natural sweet wines. With its vigorous branches, it charms as much by its aromas of fruit, garrigue and spices as by its round character. Discover our selection of 100% Grenache nuggets direct from the winemaker.

Grenache: A Signature Southern Grape Variety
Grenache Noir is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world, valued for its ability to produce generous wines bursting with red fruit notes (cherry, strawberry, raspberry), hints of sweet spices, and sometimes herbal garrigue aromas. Most often vinified as red wine, Grenache delivers round, warm, fruit-forward wines with soft tannins and aromatic richness. In rosé, it expresses freshness and delicacy, particularly in AOC Côtes de Provence and AOC Languedoc, offering flavors of fresh fruit, citrus, and floral notes. The rarer Grenache Blanc produces full-bodied, dry white wines with subtle spice and smooth texture.
Some of the key appellations that showcase Grenache include:
- Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Roussillon: warm, approachable red wines
- Châteauneuf-du-Pape (as a single varietal or dominant blend): powerful, complex, and elegant red wines
- IGP Pays d’Oc and Côtes Catalanes: expressive, modern, fruit-driven cuvées
- Côtes de Provence: refined, fresh rosés made entirely from Grenache
