Cinsault
Cinsault
(or Cinsaut) is one of the oldest south of France variety. Even
nowadays it is impossible to determinate its origins, between Provence and
Languedoc.
The Cinsault is a hill-side grape-variety. It is the reason
for which it is always associated to other varieties:
Carignan,
Grenache,
Mourvèdre,
Syrah.
Cinsault produces large grains, very sweet and juicy.
Although not well known, this variety contributes to the production
of excellent wines such as Saint-Georges d'Orques (Languedoc).
