One of the interesting things about old world wines is that they'll tell you the region on the bottle, but often not the grapes that go into it. And that can change from year to year based on the harvests and the whims/taste of the winemaker. However, there are laws to govern what sets of grapes are allowed. For this one, "red wines are made from Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsaut, Carignan, Counoise and Mourvèdre grapes". I have been finding the GSM (grenache, syrah, mourvedre) combination to be a lovely thing, although I'm unclear on the differences between GN and G. Oh, the wiki seems to say they're the same thing.

M. Chapoutier 2005. Google says it's 80% grenache, 20% syrah, both very good grapes when done well.
