Discover the grape variety: Bertille Seyve 872
Colourful, simple fruity reds with a light purple robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red and black fruits. Early-ripening and productive. Now marginal, surviving in a few varietal collections and bearing witness to the history of post-phylloxera hybridisation in France. French black hybrid obtained in the early 20th century by Bertille Seyve, an interspecific disease-resistant cross.

The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
