The wine region of Hautes-Alpes
Alpine IGP (mountain climate, wide thermal amplitude, clay-limestone at Théüs, loams at Tallard): signature Mollard (emblematic local grape, "Petite Montagne") in red — ruby robe, lightly peppered spicy nose with toasted bread notes, round palate with well-ripened red fruits (griotte cherry, plum), tar, vanilla, leather and minerality, pure expression of altitude terroir. Espanenc, Chardonnay and Viognier as complements, lively mineral whites.
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: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
