Discover the grape variety: Epinou
Simple, light and fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, melted tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. A discreet rustic profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity and is among the heritage varieties under study. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.

The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
