Encyclopedia > Cinsault


Cinsaut or Cinsault is a red wine France. Cinsaut is especially planted in Languedoc and Roussillon. It often blended with grapes of the Mediterranean regions to add softness and bouquet.


Cinsaut is often blended with Grenache and Carignane. Synonyms include Cinq_saou, Black Malvoisie (in California) Boudales, Plant d'Arles, Picardin noir, Morterille noire, Cuviller, and Hermitage (in South Africa and parts of Europe).


It is some times confusingly referred to as Oeillade when sold as a table grape. The true Oeillade with very different leaves is no longer cultivated.
