Crisp, taut dry whites with a pale golden robe, a slender palate and a razor-sharp acidity of discreet citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers and chalky mineral notes. Ideal profile for sparkling base wines, adding tension and length. A traditional minor component of Champagne AOC, preserved by growers loyal to historic varieties (arbane, pinot blanc, pinot gris). Rare native Champenois grape.

The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
