The wine region of Ardèche
Vast Rhône IGP with contrasting southern-Rhône terroirs: signature Syrah as king red — fruity and spicy with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, violet and a peppery touch, supple tannins. Round Merlot, structured Cabernet and sunny Grenache as backup. Signature Chardonnay and Viognier as aromatic whites (peach, apricot, white flowers, citrus). Fresh rosés.
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: Reims Mountain
Between Épernay and Reims, a large limestone massif with varied soils and exposure where pinot noir reigns supreme. Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, etc., are equivalent to the Burgundian Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. There are also great Chardonnays, which are rarer (Mailly, Marmery, Trépail, Villers).
