Supple, fruity reds with a deep robe and melted tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, violet, soft spices and garrigue notes.

The wine region of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

Provencal IGP at altitude (temperate climate): Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Carignan, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon signature reds (78%) — spiced and fruity Syrah notes, Grenache roundness, Mourvèdre structure, supple or structured tannins for ageing. Fruity rosés (15%). Lively, expressive whites (7%) with floral notes from Clairette, Vermentino, Chardonnay and Muscat Blanc.

The wine region of Méditerranée

Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.

The word of the wine: Grape variety

A type of vine plant and, by extension, the term used to designate the grapes that come from it. The term "table grape" is used to designate the grapes used for consumption, whereas the term "grape variety" is used to designate the wine grapes used to make wine.
