Wines made from Genovèse grapes of Vin de France
Discover the best wines made with Genovèse as a single variety or as a blend of Vin de France.
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate and preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers and Mediterranean herbal notes. Rustic, airy profile to drink young. Preserved for its heritage value in a few confidential plots in Provence and Corsica, among the ancient varieties under study. Native white variety from south-east France, almost extinct since phylloxera.
The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.
