Discover the grape variety: Ravat noir
Deeply coloured, simple fruity reds with a sustained purple colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and discreet herbal notes. Productive and disease resistant. Grown in small quantities in France and Canada (Quebec) for rigorous continental viticultural climates. French black hybrid obtained by Jean-François Ravat in the early 20th century, a witness to French post-phylloxera hybridisation.

The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
