The wine region of Côtes du Vivarais
Rhodanian AOP above the Ardèche gorges (Gras plateau, argilo-calcareous soils, Mistral, Mediterranean): Grenache and Syrah as signature reds, complemented by Cinsault and Marselan — profile of fleshy dark fruits and spiced notes, fairly firm tannins balanced by pleasant freshness, Grenache providing structure and warmth, Syrah adding a northern peppery note. Grenache Blanc with Clairette, Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne as floral whites.
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: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
