Expressive Roussillon heartland: signature Grenache Noir as the red king — fleshy and sunny with notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, garrigue, spices and a peppery touch, round tannins and generous alcohol on schist. Deep Syrah, dense Carignan and Mourvèdre as support. Grenache Gris/Blanc, Macabeu and Vermentino in round whites (fennel, citrus, flowers). Aromatic Muscats.


The wine region of Pays d'Oc

The single-grape IGP par excellence: modern, accessible, frank and fruity wines, the popular signature of the Midi. Spicy Syrah reds (pepper, blackberry), round Merlot, structured Cabernet, generous Grenache, supple Cinsault. Crisp, tangy rosés. Opulent Chardonnay whites, lively Sauvignon, floral, apricoty Viognier.

The word of the wine: Solera

A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
