Discover the grape variety: Rubi
Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, a witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and part of the heritage varieties under study. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Var
Vast Provençal IGP in the hinterland of the Côte d'Azur: signature Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Tibouren as royal rosés — pale and fruity with notes of peach, citrus, strawberry, white flowers and a hint of spice, signature chiselled freshness, the regional flagship. Mourbèdre and Carignan in sun-drenched reds (cherry, garrigue). Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Clairette in floral whites. IGP, sunny Mediterranean, limestone and schist soils, cleansing mistral.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
