Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.

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: Lies
A deposit formed by dead yeast after fermentation. Some white wines are aged on their lees, which makes their aromas and structure more complex and richer.
