 Syrah
In the soil around Cabrières
the Syrah grape develops a fine aroma and a rich ruby
colour. It is rich in tannin and has a complex range
of tastes. This variety of grape is the base for the
'Fulcrand Cabanon' and 'Estabel' red wines.

Clairette
This is both the oldest and the most remarkable
of our white wine grapes. It is luminous, well-rounded,
softly fleshy with a strong fruity aroma. Used particularly
for the 'Clairette du Languedoc' wine, this grape
produces a dry, mellow white. It is also blended with
other varieties in our 'Coteaux du Languedoc'.

Grenache
White
This is a grape which has been recently introduced,
to fulfil the growing popularity of our white wines.
It is a variety well-known for its character and unique
aroma. Blended with the 'Clairette' grape, it
is used in our 'Coteaux du Languedoc' white to
help produce a balanced, well-rounded taste.

Mourvèdre
Little used around Cabrières, the
Mourvèdre is however an excellent grape for wines
to be matured. The initial pressing is uninteresting,
but, given its high tannin content, with time it gives
character to the wine and helps to conserve it during
the ageing process.

Carignan
Disliked by some, appreciated by others,
the Carignan grape is a key element in our wine-blending
process. Indeed, it is the foundation of our 'Estabel'
red wine.

|
Grenache
This is a grape which is a mainstay of our
wine production. It adds a fruity, rounded, aromatic
note to our wines. The 'Fulcrand Cabanon' rosé
shows off the qualities of the Grenache grape. It is
also a constituent of the 'Prestige' wines.

|
Cinsault
It
would be impossible to produce the Cabrières
rosé without the Cinsault grape. It gives
a suppleness and a fresh, fleshy taste which makes our
rosé wine so special.
