Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.

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.
