Discover the grape variety: Cornalin du Valais

Very old vine cultivated in the Swiss Valais, resulting from a natural crossing between the petit rouge(*) and the mayolet. It is the father of red humagne, also called cornalin d'Aoste, the grandfather of durize or petit rouge du Valais or rouge de Fully and a relative of goron. - Synonymy: old red of Valais, red of the country in Switzerland, landroter (for all the synonyms of the grape varieties, click here!). - Description: medium-sized bunches, cylindrical, winged, compact, strong medium-sized peduncles with little lignification; medium-sized berries, spherical or short elliptical, skin of a beautiful bluish black colour with a lot of bloom. The foliage turns completely red in the fall. - Production potential: early budding in the year. Capricious and difficult variety. Particularly likes the limestone soils of well exposed hillsides that warm up quickly enough, lean and well drained. Semi-erect bearing, vigorous with irregular production. Resists well to winter frosts. Susceptible to the main diseases, especially to oidium and grey rot. Also susceptible to magnesium deficiency and stalk dehydration. Maturity: 3rd early season

The wine region of Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is a key wine region in western France. It follows the course of the Loire River on its Long journey through the heart of France, from the inland hills of the Auvergne to the plains of the French Atlantic coast near Nantes (Muscadet country). Important in terms of quantity and quality, the region produces large quantities (about 4 million h/l each year) of everyday wines, as well as some of France's greatest wines. Diversity is another of the region's major assets; the styles of wine produced here range from the light, tangy Muscadet to the Sweet, honeyed Bonnezeaux, the Sparkling whites of Vouvray and the juicy, Tannic reds of Chinon and Saumur.
