The wine region of Crémant de Die
Sparkling AOC of the Diois in the Rhône valley (29 Drôme communes at the foot of Vercors, scattered parcels, high-altitude limestone soils, traditional method with second fermentation in bottle, aged on lees for one year): Clairette is the white king (≥55%) — fine bubbles and dominant green fruit aromas. Aligoté (≥10%) adding freshness, Muscat à petits grains (5–10%) discreet aromatic touch, a ciselé alternative to Clairette de Die.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
