Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet southern rustic profile. Nearly extinct and preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, a witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of Provençal vineyards. Rare French white variety, once grown in Provence.

The wine region of Amador County
Historic heart of Californian Zinfandel in the Sierra Foothills (Gold Country): signature Zinfandel as king red (old vines >100 years) — powerful and spicy with notes of candied blackberry, plum, raspberry, black cherry, pepper and a cocoa touch, round tannins and generous alcohols (14-16%). Rhône grapes (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier) as sunny backup, Italian (Sangiovese, Barbera). Hot high-altitude climate (300-600 m), decomposed granitic soils.
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: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
