The wine region of Carmel Valley
Monterey AVA 16 km from the ocean: dominant Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (>70%) in rich, full-bodied reds. Well-drained gravelly terraces, hot days and cool nights ideal for Bordeaux grapes. Cachagua Valley above the fog exposes to warmer climate, marked thermal swings and progressive ripening generating fruit and tannic complexity. Bordeaux identity of the central coast.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
