Discover the grape variety: Abondant
Simple and fresh dry whites, pale golden colour, supple mouth with moderate acidity, with understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Rustic, productive and vigorous profile yielding large clusters. Preserved in ampelographic collections. Not to be confused with the Savoyard Abondance. Autochthonous French white grape once grown in Île-de-France and the Centre.

The wine region of Vin de France
The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
