Côtes du Vivarais - Rebflächen bei der Gemeinde Orgnac l’Aven

As late as the 1950s, simple mass wines were still produced here, also from hybrid vines, and marketed as cask wines. The former VDQS area was classified in 1999. The red wine is blended from at least 30% Grenache Noir(Garnacha Tinta) and at least 40% Syrah, and a maximum of 10% Cinsaut. The rosé must contain at least two of the three varieties Syrah, Grenache Noir and Cinsaut. The white wine is produced from at least two of the three varieties Grenache Blanc(Garnacha Blanca), Clairette and Marsanne.
