Discover the grape variety: Bicane
Simple, lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Vigorous and productive, once distilled in Cognac. Now marginal but preserved in Cognaçais varietal collections, a witness to Charentes heritage. French autochthonous variety from the South-West, father of Admirable de Courtiller via a cross with Chasselas.

The wine region of Pécharmant
Bergerac AOC north of the Dordogne, right bank (south-facing semicircle, ~400 ha): signature blend of Merlot (41%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Cabernet Franc (16%) and Malbec (7%) as the exclusive red king — dense dark robe, aromas of black fruit (cassis, blackberry), vanilla and spice notes, ample mouth rich in tannins, generous and well-structured, 15-20 year ageing. Sand and gravel of the Périgord over ferruginous "Tran", Massif Central.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Primeur
Said of wines from the last vintage and, by extension, wines of the year, fruity and easy-drinking, put on sale on the third Thursday in November. The AOC regulations specify that a wine is said to be primeur if it is bottled before the spring, and nouveau if it is bottled before the following harvest. Beaujolais Nouveau is therefore a vin primeur.
