Discover the grape variety: Valdiguié
Supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, melted tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, cherry, strawberry), soft spices and floral notes. A light, thirst-quenching style, best drunk young, often by carbonic maceration. Grown in California as "Napa Gamay" and in Languedoc IGPs. An autochthonous south-west variety once ubiquitous in France, now in revival for modern cuvées.
