Simple, light and fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby robe, smooth tannins, an airy palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of red fruits. Rustic, discreet profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Willamette Valley

World benchmark for Pinot Noir outside Burgundy: elegant, fine reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, undergrowth, damp earth and sweet spices, silky tannins and acidity preserved by the cool climate. Star grape on volcanic soils (Jory), Burgundian latitude (45°). Also taut Chardonnay in full quality rise, round Pinot Gris and lively Riesling. Oregon's main AVA (240 km between Coast Range and Cascades).

The wine region of Oregon

American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.

The word of the wine: Mineral

Taste reminiscent of gunflint, chalk and many nuances of the mineral world, and reinforcing, especially in white wines, the notion of freshness and the sappy character.
