garrigue: In the southern Rhõne Valley and Provence, this is the landscape of small slopes and plateaus. This Provençal word applies to these windswept hilltops/slopes inhabited by scrub-brush and Provençal herb outcroppings.
Garrigue
The aromas of rosemary, lemon verbena, lavender and marjoram that perfume the air of southern France, especially in the Midi region.
St Martin de la Garrigue
Domaine Félines Jourdan
Of the remaining three subregional zones, the vineyards of Pézenas & Cabrières are the better known and longer established. These are ancient vineyards, located south-west of Grès de Montpellier.
The light-coloured GRENACHE is a quintessentially Mediterranean red variety and as a result it often mingles the classic Mediterranean garrigue scents of thyme, fennel and rosemary with white pepper and its warming, raspberryish fruit flavours.
Specific herbal type, sometimes found in Provence and Languedoc reds. See also "garrigues."
