Belgium's first organized PDO (Wallonia, 2004) in the Meuse basin (Sambre, Ourthe, Amblève, Semois), ~30 ha on clay-limestone soils, cool northern climate. Chardonnay flagship white: lively and straight with green apple, citrus, white flowers and mineral touch, tense thirst-quenching acidity. Full Pinot Gris, floral Auxerrois and aromatic Müller-Thurgau in whites. Airy Pinot Noir in light red.
Resistant hybrids Regent and Johanniter complement.
Supple and fruity reds with a purple colour and melted tannins, on aromas of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, sweet spices and floral notes. Round palate, fresh finish, more tender and approachable young than its sibling Gamaret. Vinified as a thirst-quenching single variety and in modern red blends with Gamaret, Gamay and Pinot Noir in Swiss Romandy (Vaud, Geneva, Valais). A cross of Gamay × Reichensteiner created in 1970 at the Pully station, same lineage as Gamaret.
