Discover the grape variety: Petit brun
The petit brun is a black grape variety that is becoming rarer. It is found particularly in Provence, where it is one of the many other grape varieties that make up the reputation of this region. It is probably of Italian origin and is used to make the best red wines. It is known as "brun des Hautes Alpes". In order to be more productive, the vine needs to be pruned short and develops perfectly when it is well exposed. In France, Petit Brun is one of the secondary grape varieties used in the Palette appellations. The AOC Palette is considered the oldest in Provence. The wine made from petit brun is a dark red, particularly tannic. It gives off aromas of undergrowth and a floral scent. In the wines of Château Crémade, the petit brun gives them an exceptional subtlety.

The wine region of Rivesaltes
Rivesaltes is an appellation for the historic Sweet wines of eastern Roussillon, in the DeepSouth of France. The natural sweet wines produced in this region have been revered since at least the 14th century. The technique used to make them is one of many techniques used for sweet wines. Unlike botrytized wines or ice wines, natural sweet wines are made by Mutage, a process that involves stopping the Fermentation of the must while a high level of natural sweetness remains.

Languedoc (formerly Coteaux du Languedoc) is a key appellation used in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of southern France. It covers Dry table wines of all three colors (red, white and rosé) from the entire region, but leaves Sweet and Sparkling wines to other more specialized appellations. About 75% of all Languedoc wines are red, with the remaining 25% split roughly down the middle between whites and rosés. The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.
