Discover the grape variety: Crouchen
Fresh and barely aromatic dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with discreet aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. A rustic thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Now rare in France, still grown in South Africa (Crouchen Blanc) and Australia (mistakenly called Clare Riesling), producing simple whites. Native French white grape from the Pyrenees, once grown in Béarn and the South-West.

The word of the wine: Vinification of sweet wines
