Simple fresh whites with low aromatics, pale golden robe, supple palate with moderate acidity, discreet aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic South-West profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic heritage of the South-West.

The wine region of Edna Valley
First AVA of San Luis Obispo (1982) parallel to the coast over 10 miles: Chardonnay signature king white and Pinot Noir king red — cool climate and long season giving fine wines with moderate alcohol (13. 5-14. 2°) and pronounced acidity. Green apple, Meyer citrus, stone fruit and saline minerality on Chardonnays, fresh cherry and sweet spice on Pinot Noirs.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Barrel
A wooden barrel made of oak that varies in size depending on the region and is used to age wines. Some white wines are vinified and aged in barrels.
