The wine region of Vin de France
The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.
The word of the wine: Grey (wine)
Wine obtained by vinifying white grapes with coloured skin (black or grey), by direct pressing, without maceration. It is a rosé with very little colour.
