Light, simple fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Rustic, discreet profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and studied for its genetic interest. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Rogue Valley

Warm, high-altitude AVA (300-600 m) of southern Oregon: signature Tempranillo as the royal red — structured and flavoursome with notes of cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and a touch of spice, round tannins. Elegant, peppery Syrah in emblematic support (blackberry, blackcurrant, garrigue). Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Viognier succeed as warm-climate grapes. Fresh high-altitude Pinot Noir.

The wine region of Oregon

American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.

The word of the wine: Astringency

Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
