Grenache Gris
Grenache Gris is a rare mutation of the Grenache family, unmistakable with its grey-pink skin. It originates primarily in the Roussillon region of southern France, where it ripens on barren, stony soils, producing white wines of remarkable depth. In the glass, it displays ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, along with white blossoms and a hint of Mediterranean spice. What makes it special is the combination of a full-bodied texture and vibrant freshness – rare, but impressive.
Outside of Roussillon, Grenache Gris is only found sporadically, for example in Catalonia or Sardinia. At Vinoscout you'll find 7 carefully selected wines of this rare variety, covering a considerable price range from around 7 to 400 euros – from accessible entry-level wines to ambitious rarities for explorers who want to drink off the beaten track.

Grenache Gris – the quiet beauty from Roussillon
Grenache Gris is one of the rarer varieties of the Grenache family. The gray-berry mutation produces wines that differ significantly from their red and white relatives: creamy texture, lively freshness, and a fine minerality characterize the style – whether as a dry white wine, an elegant rosé, or an oxidatively aged sweet wine.
At home in Roussillon
Roussillon in the south of France, right on the border with Spain, is the true home of this variety. Here, between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, Grenache Gris finds the conditions it needs: plenty of sun, dry soils, and the strong Tramontane wind. Producers like Domaine Lafage and Gérard Bertrand show how versatile the variety can be – from everyday rosés to aged rarities.
What awaits you at Vinoscout
Our assortment includes seven carefully selected wines between 6.85 and 399.99 EUR. For an uncomplicated introduction, we recommend the Réserve du Cochonnet Rosé or the Gérard Bertrand Gris Blanc – both show the fresh, accessible character of the variety. Those who want to delve deeper will find an oxidatively aged wine of a completely different nature with the Ambre Hors D'age from Domaine Lafage. And for special occasions, the Gris Blanc in the 6-liter bottle is a real highlight. Grenache Gris is worth discovering – browse through our small but fine offer.
