The wine region of Vayots Dzor
South-eastern Armenia, cradle of the world's vine (Areni-1 cave, ~4100 BC), altitude vineyards 1,000-1,800 m on ungrafted vines. Areni Noir signature indigenous red: elegant and structured with notes of red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, undergrowth, spices and a volcanic mineral touch, fine tannins and lively acidity — often compared to Pinot Noir. Rare Voskehat white (citrus, green apple, almond). Renaissance led by Zorah, Trinity, Hin Areni.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
