Discover the grape variety: Négret Canourgue
Light, simply fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, soft tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, featuring understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the patrimonial varieties under study. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.

The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
