Discover the grape variety: Bouteillan
Simple, fresh, low-aromatic whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and discreet aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic Provençal profile. Almost absent from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Provençal vineyard. An indigenous Provençal white grape, once grown in Provence and the South-East.

The word of the wine: Acidic (flavor)
Acidity is present in all wines, and is essential in white wines. It is due to the presence of different organic acids in the wine, and is expressed in the mouth by a sensation of freshness combined with other elements, such as minerality or a note of bitterness. Moderately present, it brings relief and vivacity to the wine.
