Details and technical informations about Cave de Genouilly's Cuvee La Gladie Coteaux Bourguignons.
Discover the grape variety: Jacquez
A natural French-American ternary hybrid that most certainly comes from an interspecific crossing between an unknown Vinifera with Vitis Aestivalis and Vitis Cinerea. The Jacquez was at the time the most multiplied in the World, present since always in the Portuguese island of Madeira. For a long time used as a direct producer, it was even used as a rootstock in the south of France, in the United States, in Mexico and in South Africa: some vines grafted on Jacquez still exist today. In France, it is one of the six hybrids prohibited since 1935 (included in European regulations): Clinton, Herbemont, Isabelle, Jacquez, Noah and Othello.

The wine region of Coteaux Bourguignons
Coteaux Bourguignons is a wine appellation whose wines are produced in the Vineyards of Burgundy, in the east of France and more precisely in the wine regions of Chablis, Côte de nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon. The Coteaux Bourguignons can also exist under the following designations: "Coteaux Bourguignons", "Bourgogne grand ordinaire" or "Bourgogne ordinaire". Its vineyard benefits from a temperate-oceanic and semi-continental Climate and a Terroir made of clay-limestone soil. The Coteaux Bourguignons has the French AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) label as well as the European AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) label.
The wine region of Burgundy
Bourgogne is the catch-all regional appellation title of the Burgundy wine region in eastern France ("Bourgogne" is the French name for Burgundy). Burgundy has a Complex and comprehensive appellation system; counting Premier Cru and Grand Cru titles, the region has over 700 appellation titles for its wines. Thus, Burgundy wines often come from one Vineyard (or several separate vineyards) without an appellation title specific to the region, Village or even vineyard. A standard Burgundy wine may be made from grapes grown in one or more of Burgundy's 300 communes.
The word of the wine: Hygrometry
Humidity level of the cellar necessary for a good ageing of the wines. The recommended hygrometry is around 70% in order to guarantee a good elasticity of the corks while preserving the labels.
