Discover the grape variety: Verdesse
Crisp, aromatic dry whites with a pale golden colour, a slender palate and preserved acidity, showing delicate aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), white fruits (apple, pear) and alpine mineral notes. A crystalline mountain character. Very rare, preserved by a handful of Dauphiné growers for its heritage value, in confidential high-altitude cuvées. Indigenous French variety of Isère and the Dauphiné, a witness to ancient Alpine grape varieties.

The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
