Counoise is a dark-skinned wine grape grown primarily in the Rhône valley region of France.

Counoise adds a peppery note and good acidity to a blended red wine, but does not have much depth of colour or tannin.

Counoise and Aubun were also grown mixed in a field blend in some older vineyards.

[2] However, Counoise is considered to be a grape of higher quality, while Aubun has a reputation for giving simpler wines.
