Aspiran (or Aspiran noir) is a red French wine grape variety[1] planted primarily in the Languedoc where it permitted under Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) regulations in the red and rosé wines of the Minervois AOC.

Aspiran is a very old variety with a long history of producing light bodied and perfumed wines.

[2] Before the phylloxera epidemic, Aspiran was common in Languedoc, in particular in Hérault, where it once represented one quarter of the plantations in this department.

[3] The severe frost in 1956 killed off much of the then existing Aspiran plantations.

Aspiran should not be confused with the Greek white grape variety Aspirant.
