Discover the grape variety: Cornichon blanc
Table grape with elongated gherkin-shaped berries, thin skin and crunchy flesh with a pleasant sweet flavour. Very rarely vinified. Now marginal, it survives in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections. A witness to French ampelographic heritage, it is among the ancient varieties studied for their historical interest and characteristic shape. French white table grape variety, formerly grown for fresh consumption and preservation.

The word of the wine: Primeur
Said of wines from the last vintage and, by extension, wines of the year, fruity and easy-drinking, put on sale on the third Thursday in November. The AOC regulations specify that a wine is said to be primeur if it is bottled before the spring, and nouveau if it is bottled before the following harvest. Beaujolais Nouveau is therefore a vin primeur.
