Discover the grape variety: Bertille Seyve 450
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Productive rustic profile. Now marginal, it survives in a few heritage plots and is one of the old French hybrids preserved in varietal collections. French white hybrid variety obtained in the early 20th century by Bertille Seyve, in the lineage of phylloxera-resistant crossings.

The wine region of Alpilles
Provencal IGP in northern Bouches-du-Rhone (Alpilles massif between Avignon, Arles, Saint-Remy): signature Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as red and rose kings (78% reds, 19% roses) — signature profile with bright red fruits, garrigue and Mediterranean spice notes, preserved finesse. Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier, Vermentino (Rolle) and Clairette in whites (3%). Mediterranean climate, mineral soils and sanitizing mistral, aromatic precision.
The wine region of Méditerranée
Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
