The wine region of Muscat de Beaumes de Venise
Natural sweet wine AOC Vaucluse (1945) at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail: 100% Muscat à Petits Grains (white and black), fermentation stopped by mutage with alcohol preserving ~100 g/l residual sugar. Pale gold to golden yellow, intense and delicate nose of white flowers (rose, acacia), peach, apricot, candied citrus, tropical fruits and minty notes. Fresh, fruity and elegant palate, long persistence. Serve 6-9°C, aperitif and desserts.
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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
