Discover the grape variety: Camaralet de Lasseube
Aromatic, structured dry whites with a pale golden robe, an ample palate and preserved acidity, showing rare signature spicy aromas (fennel, pepper, cinnamon, anise), white flowers and yellow fruits. A unique profile with a very strong personality. Very rare (less than 1 ha cultivated), preserved by a few Béarnais winegrowers and blended with Lauzet and Gros Manseng in heritage cuvées. An indigenous French variety from the Béarn (Pyrénées-Atlantiques).

The wine region of Barbaresco
Big sister of Barolo on the hills east of Alba. Pure Nebbiolo (100%) as red: garnet robe turning brick-orange, signature nose of rose, violet, cherry, raspberry, truffle, leather and tar, silky palate with firm but more elegant tannins, accessible younger than Barolo. Minimum 26 months' ageing (50 for Riserva), of which 9 in wood. Ages 10-25 years.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
