Discover the grape variety: Gibert
Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, soft tannins, airy palate and moderate acidity; unassuming aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic style. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French black grape, formerly cultivated in the South-West.

The wine region of Dry Creek Valley
Mythical terroir of Californian Zinfandel on pre-Prohibition old vines: intense, spicy reds with aromas of candied blackberry, black plum, pepper and leather, ample structure and melted tannins. Signature Sauvignon Blanc as white king with herbaceous notes and bright citrus, dazzling acidity. Also Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Rhône grapes. Small Sonoma AVA (~9,000 ha, 70+ wineries), warm days and cool evenings ventilated from the coast, ideal ripeness-acidity balance.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Beurré
Typical aroma of white wines aged in oak barrels and wines that have undergone malolactic fermentation.
