Structured, elegant reds with a deep purple hue, firm, fine tannins and an ample, fresh palate, showing aromas of red and black fruits (black cherry, blackcurrant), spices (pepper) and alpine mineral notes. Ageing profile. Star of the great Valais reds, thriving on the sun-drenched slopes of the Swiss Rhône for celebrated age-worthy wines. Native Swiss black grape of the Valais (formerly Rouge du Pays), identical to the Cornalin d'Aoste.

The wine region of Var

Vast Provençal IGP in the hinterland of the Côte d'Azur: signature Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Tibouren as royal rosés — pale and fruity with notes of peach, citrus, strawberry, white flowers and a hint of spice, signature chiselled freshness, the regional flagship. Mourbèdre and Carignan in sun-drenched reds (cherry, garrigue). Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Clairette in floral whites. IGP, sunny Mediterranean, limestone and schist soils, cleansing mistral.

The wine region of Méditerranée

Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.

The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation

Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
