Discover the grape variety: Solaris
Aromatic, structured whites with an ample palate and moderate acidity, with intense, muscat-like aromas of yellow peach, apricot, exotic fruits (pineapple, mango), white flowers, honey and discreet herbal notes. Made as both expressive dry whites and sweet wines. A very early, mildew- and powdery-mildew-resistant interspecific variety, driving organic viticulture in northern regions (Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, UK). Created in 1975 in Freiburg (Merzling × Geisenheim 6493).

The wine region of Luberon
Southern Rhône cru on the foothills of the Provençal massif: signature Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as fruity reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, garrigue (thyme, rosemary) and a spice touch, supple tannins and a fresh finish from altitude. Signature moreish rosés (strawberry, raspberry, citrus). Vermentino, Grenache Blanc and Clairette as ample, floral whites. AOC (1988), ~3,250 ha in the Vaucluse, altitude 200-450 m, varied limestone soils.
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: Fleshy
Said of a wine that gives the impression of being dense and smooth, a bit like biting into the flesh of a ripe fruit.
