Discover the grape variety: Counoise
Supple and fresh reds with a clear ruby colour, melted tannins and preserved acidity despite the sun, on aromas of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, white pepper, garrigue and spiced notes. Airy and thirst-quenching palate. A traditional component of Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC (one of the 13 authorised varieties), it brings freshness, finesse and aromatic complexity to southern blends of Côtes-du-Rhône and Languedoc. Native Rhône variety, very late-ripening.

The word of the wine: Powdery mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Less dreadful than mildew, it only attacks the surface of the green parts. Sulphur has long been the best remedy.
