The characteristics of Grignan-les-Adhémar wine and the grape varieties used to make it

Classified as a softly conceived wine, Grignan-les-Adhémar is made in the heart of the Rhône vineyards. Elegant and delicious, this wine has an intense color. It immediately stands out from the alternatives with its sublime ruby color and brilliant mauve highlights. When aged in the right conditions, Grignan-les-Adhémar will develop aromas of aniseed and licorice.

Two main grape varieties are used to make this beverage. The first is Black Syrah. Also known as Shiraz noire or Serine noire, this grape variety is native to the Rhône region of France. The second dominant grape variety used to make this wine is Grenache noir. This is a black wine grape, originally from Aragon (Spain), where it is known as garnacha.

In addition to these main components, other grape varieties are also involved in the creation of Grignan-les-Adhémar wine. These include :

- Carignan noir,
- White Grenache,
- Black Marselan,

Depending on where you plan to store your bottle, you'll need to comply with certain requirements. You have the option of storing your bottles in a suitable wine cabinet.

"All the charm of the southern Rhône!

"This half-grenache, half-syrah wine is immediately accessible, with clean, elegant, open fruit (plum) and good concentration, fullness and silkiness on the palate. The already mellow woodiness with its mocha notes mingles nicely with the macerated red berries, prolonging the pleasure on the finish." (Le Guide Hachette 2024)
