Discover the grape variety: Guillemot
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Rustic, discreet profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of French vineyards. Rare French white variety, once grown in western France.

The word of the wine: Liquid
Sweet wine containing more than 50 grams of residual sugar per liter. Sweet wines are made from grapes often affected by botrytis cinerea and concentrated either by passerillage (drying of the grapes on the vine stock), or after the harvest (straw wines), or by the cold (ice wines).
