Discover the grape variety: Panse précoce

Table grape with long bunches and thin-skinned golden berries with juicy flesh, a sweet and fresh flavour. Very early-ripening, mainly intended for fresh consumption at the start of the season. Grown in the Mediterranean for fresh consumption, appreciated for its early maturity and attractive table appearance, marking the first summer market stalls. French white table grape, an early-ripening mutation of the Panse.

The wine region of Cornas

Smallest cru of the northern Rhône right bank (AOC 1938): signature Syrah exclusively as ruling red (100% mandatory) — deep black robe with intense aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), violet, spice, pepper and liquorice, rich and powerful texture, firm tannins evolving to a liquorice finish, decade-long ageing ≥15 years. East-southeast amphitheatre slopes on granite "gores" (sandy clays), Massif Central, optimal exposure.


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: Herbaceous

Vegetable odour reminiscent of freshly cut grass and considered a defect of the wine.
