Details and technical informations about Winery Castel Freres's Cuvée Réservée L'Intendant.
Discover the grape variety: Villard noir
Colored, fruity reds with an intense ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate, with simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), soft spices and hybrid notes. Productive, disease-resistant profile for early drinking. Now marginal in France, surviving in a few heritage plots and varietal collections, important in post-phylloxera reconstruction. French black hybrid obtained by Bertille Seyve at Bourgoin-Jallieu (Seyve-Villard 18-315).

The word of the wine: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
