Discover the grape variety: Mouyssaguès
Light, simple reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and a supple palate, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), gentle spices and herbal notes. Rustic, airy profile to drink young. Preserved in INRAE variety collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage varieties under study. Native black variety from South-West France, today almost extinct.

The wine region of Eola-Amity Hills
Fresh, windy AVA of the Willamette Valley (Oregon) northwest of Salem: Pinot Noir signature as the red king — racy and taut with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, earth, spices and a mineral touch, fine chiselled tannins and signature acidity preserved by the Van Duzer Corridor winds. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris as vivid, mineral whites. AVA (2006), volcanic Jory and marine sedimentary soils on basalts, temperate, ventilated climate.
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
