Discover the grape variety: Raisaine
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. A rustic profile now almost absent from commercial viticulture. Preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French white grape, once grown in the South-West and studied for its heritage value.

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: Crunchy
A very colorful term to designate a sensation similar to the crunchiness of a grape bursting under the tooth in young and lively wines.
