The wine region of Ardèche
Vast Rhône IGP with contrasting southern-Rhône terroirs: signature Syrah as king red — fruity and spicy with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, violet and a peppery touch, supple tannins. Round Merlot, structured Cabernet and sunny Grenache as backup. Signature Chardonnay and Viognier as aromatic whites (peach, apricot, white flowers, citrus). Fresh rosés.
The wine region of Méditerranée
Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
