It is known for its rich color and robust flavor profile, often producing wines with notes of dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. This grape is typically used in blends, contributing depth and complexity to the final product. Commandeur grapes thrive in warm climates and well-drained soils, making them well-suited for the Mediterranean environment. They are often harvested late in the season, allowing for optimal ripeness and flavor development. The resulting wines are appreciated for their aging potential and food-pairing versatility.
