Discover the grape variety: Clinton
A natural hybrid, most likely resulting from an interspecific cross between Vitis Riparia and Vitis Labrusca, first planted by Hugh White in College Hill, USA. In France, it is one of the six hybrids prohibited since 1935 (included in European regulations): Clinton, herbemont, isabelle, jacquez, noah and othello. It should be noted that it was used for a very long time as a rootstock, today it can still be found in arbors and trellises raised in private homes, our photographs were taken in the Cevennes.

The wine region of Graves
Graves is a wine region on the left bank of the Bordeaux region of France, characterized by the gravel soils that give it its name. Unique among the sub-regions of Bordeaux, Graves is equally respected for its red and white wines. The AOC Graves, which covers both red and white wines, is the catch-all appellation of the district. A typical Graves red is based on the classic Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot sometimes in a supporting role.
The wine region of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions in the world. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90% of the production Volume) are the Dry, medium and Full-bodied red Bordeaux blends for which it is famous. The finest (and most expensive) are the wines of the great châteaux of Haut-Médoc and the right bank appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former focuses (at the highest level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter on Merlot.
The word of the wine: Fleshy
Said of a wine that gives the impression of being dense and smooth, a bit like biting into the flesh of a ripe fruit.
