Discover the grape variety: Triomphe d'Alsace
Deeply coloured, fruity reds with a full ruby robe, supple tannins, and an airy palate with moderate acidity, offering red-fruit aromas and slightly foxy hybrid notes. Early-ripening and cold-hardy. Grown mainly in Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and the northeastern USA for vineyards with harsh continental climates. A French black hybrid obtained in 1923 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace.

The wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Pinnacle of great southern Rhône reds, up to 13 blended grapes: signature Grenache as king — powerful and structured with notes of black cherry, kirsch, garrigue, leather, tar and sweet spices, firm tannins when young and gamey complexity with ageing. Deep Syrah, dense Mourvèdre and supple Cinsault complete it. Rare full whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne) with almond, anise, honeysuckle notes. Legendary AOC (1936), rolled pebbles, mistral and sun.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Young
A very relative term that can designate a wine of the year that is already at its optimum, as well as a wine that has passed its first year but has not yet developed all its qualities.
