Structured, tannic reds, deeply coloured, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and graphite, underpinned by firm acidity and fine ageing potential. Cornerstone of the great Médoc estates (Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien) and signature of Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo. The world's most planted red variety, a natural cross of Cabernet Franc x Sauvignon Blanc born in Bordeaux.

The wine region of Arizona

Emerging US Southwest state, high-altitude vineyards (1,370-1,580 m) on volcanic soils. Rhone and Mediterranean grapes are the stars: signature Syrah (blackberry, pepper, olive, violet, round tannins), fruity Grenache, dense sun-drenched Mourvedre. Also spicy Tempranillo and fruity Sangiovese. Aromatic Viognier (apricot, flowers) and deeply coloured Petite Sirah in whites.

The word of the wine: Effervescent

Any wine loaded with CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is revealed in the form of bubbles, reinforcing the freshness effect in the mouth. This gas production is the result of what is called the second fermentation in the bottle. It occurs in champagnes and sparkling wines such as crémants.
