Discover the grape variety: Morescono
Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured light ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Discreet southern rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, bearing witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern vineyard. Rare French black grape, formerly grown in the south.

The wine region of Crémant de Bourgogne
Traditional-method sparkling, a direct alternative to Champagne. Fine, persistent bubbles, fresh nose of green apple, lemon, white flowers, brioche and almond, taut and elegant palate (9 months minimum on lees, often 12-24). Based on Chardonnay (freshness and finesse) and Pinot Noir (roundness and red fruits), sometimes Aligoté, Gamay and Melon. Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and fleshy rosé versions (strawberry, raspberry).
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
