The wine region of Vacqueyras
Southern Rhône cru neighbouring Gigondas: signature Grenache as king red (≥50%) with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault - fleshy and spicy with notes of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry), garrigue, kirsch, liquorice, pepper and a balsamic touch, firm tannins and a long finish (14-15°), between the power of Gigondas and the elegance of Châteauneuf. Lively rosés and ample whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne). AOC (1990), ~1,450 ha, stony and sandy soils.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
