Discover the grape variety: Blanqueiron
Simple fresh whites with low aromatics, pale golden robe, supple palate with moderate acidity, discreet aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic South-West profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic heritage of the South-West. Rare French white grape, once cultivated in the South-West.

The wine region of Montsant
Catalan ring encircling the Priorat (Tarragona): signature Garnacha and Cariñena as king reds — concentrated and sunny with notes of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, plum), garrigue, Mediterranean herbs, liquorice and a mineral touch, fleshy tannins and a moreish finish, more accessible and fruity than Priorat. Syrah and Cabernet as backup. A few whites (Garnacha Blanca, Macabeu). DO (2001), schists ("llicorella") and clay-limestones, Mediterranean-continental climate.
The wine region of Catalogne
Cradle of Cava (~95% of Spanish output, traditional method): Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada trilogy, fine fruity bubble. Quality peak in Priorat DOCa: dense, mineral reds on llicorella (schist), old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena with black fruit, garrigue notes, firm tannins. Also Penedès, fleshy Montsant, sunny Empordà, Costers del Segre. Mediterranean.
The word of the wine: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
