Discover the grape variety: Bicane
Simple, lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Vigorous and productive, once distilled in Cognac. Now marginal but preserved in Cognaçais varietal collections, a witness to Charentes heritage. French autochthonous variety from the South-West, father of Admirable de Courtiller via a cross with Chasselas.

The word of the wine: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
