Discover the grape variety: Chichaud
It is most certainly from the Ardèche, and is not found anywhere else. It has long been confused with the cinsaut called boudalès in this region, which explains why it has the synonym tsintsao. It is said to be related to the white humagne. Today, Chichaud is on the verge of extinction, although it is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A1.

The wine region of Bekaa Valley
The Bekaa Valley is the heartland of modern Lebanese wine. Almost 90 percent of Lebanon's wine is made here, as is a respectable proportion of its Arak, the anise-flavored spirit that remains the nation's favorite alcoholic drink. The original Bekaa Valley Vineyards were planted with Cinsaut, which was subsequently joined by other French vine varieties. Most of these remain in Lebanon’s vinicultural makeup today: red Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and white Ugni Blanc, Clairette and Chardonnay.
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
