Discover the grape variety: Dan ben Hannah
Simple, light, fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of southern red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections; it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of south-east France and is among the heritage varieties studied for their genetic interest. A rare French black grape, once grown in the south-east.

Accessible reference for Mediterranean reds: dominant Grenache as king (≥50% in the south) - supple and fruity with notes of cherry, strawberry, garrigue, pepper and a touch of sweet spices, round tannins. Fleshy Syrah (blackcurrant, violet, black pepper), dense Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan in support. In the north, racy, deep Syrah solo. Generous rosés and floral whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Friand
A light, easy-drinking wine with an immediate and fresh fruitiness.
