Discover the grape variety: Dameron
Simple, rustic reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate, showing discreet aromas of red fruits and herbal notes. Formerly destined mainly for distillation into eau-de-vie. Now almost extinct, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections, a witness to the former diversity of the Charentes vineyard before phylloxera. Old black variety from the Charentes, ancestor of the Cognac vineyard.

The wine region of Sauternes
Iconic Bordeaux AOC for noble sweet wines, left bank of the Garonne. Golden whites with signature notes of honey, candied apricot, exotic fruit, orange peel, saffron and a finish tightened by chiselled acidity, opulent yet nervy palate — a great age-worthy wine of emotion. Botrytised Semillon dominates (Ciron 'noble rot') concentrating sugars, Sauvignon Blanc adds vivacity, Muscadelle perfume. ~1,416 ha across 5 villages.
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Aroma
A pleasant smell that can be primary (or varietal, i.e. characteristic of the grape), secondary (resulting from fermentation) or tertiary (resulting from the aging of the wine in the bottle).
