Discover the grape variety: Colombaud
The colombaud grape variety is equally appreciated as a white table grape and as a wine grape. Originally from Provence, it is practically no longer found in the vineyards. It is known under several other names, including poupousaoumo, courambaou and bouteillan. An amber veil covers them on the sides most exposed to the sun. The thin, crumbly greenish skin protects an ellipsoidal or spherical pulp, juicy and firm in consistency. The pulp has a simple, pleasant and slightly spicy taste. The berries are gathered in bunches carried by strong peduncles. The grapes are of medium length, compact and cylindrical-conical in shape, often with fins, and are harvested at the third medium period, as the grapevine buds late. Short pruning is best suited to this semi-erect plant, which likes exposed, warm soil.

The wine region of Entre-deux-Mers
Entre-deux-Mers is a large wine-growing sub-region of the Bordeaux region in southwestern France. Its name literally translates as "between two seas", although the seas in question are actually rivers - the Garonne and the Dordogne, which form the southern and northern boundaries of the region respectively. The Entre-deux-Mers is home to a variety of appellations, producing wines in styles ranging from the Sweet botrytised whites of Cadillac, Loupiac and Sainte-Croix-du-Mont - all close to the northeast bank of the Garonne - to the Dry table wines of Sainte-Foy and Graves de Vayres, closer to the Dordogne. The region stretching along the Garonne from the group of sweet white wine appellations to the area east of the city of Bordeaux is the red wine appellation Côtes de Bordeaux - until 2009 called Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, a title now reserved for sweet whites.
The wine region of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions in the world. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90% of the production Volume) are the Dry, medium and Full-bodied red Bordeaux blends for which it is famous. The finest (and most expensive) are the wines of the great châteaux of Haut-Médoc and the right bank appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former focuses (at the highest level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter on Merlot.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
