The wine region of Rhone Valley

Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Stirring (champagne)
Manual operation (on a "desk") or mechanical (with a "gyropalette") which allows the deposit created by the yeasts (see tirage) to go down to the neck of the bottle for disgorging.
