The wine region of Orange County

Sub-region of California's South Coast AVA (1985) south of Los Angeles, tempered by Pacific breezes. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are the signature reds: full-bodied and sun-drenched with intense blackberry, black cherry, plum, garrigue and spicy-peppery notes, round tannins. Zinfandel and Tempranillo add a Mediterranean character. Chardonnay and Viognier as fragrant whites.


The wine region of Virginia

Quality pole of the American east coast, unique signature in Viognier: ample, fragrant whites with notes of apricot, white peach, honey and flowers, silky on the palate. Cabernet Franc star in red, fine and fresh (raspberry, ripe pepper, spices). Also dense Petit Verdot, round Merlot, balanced Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc and native Norton. Humid continental climate tempered by the Appalachians, 8 AVAs (Monticello, Shenandoah).

The word of the wine: Wine library

Cellar in which are kept bottles that retrace the history of a domain, a vintage, an exceptional wine, etc., and which constitute a collection. It is also said of a place that offers a very wide choice of wines served by the glass. The oenotheques are more and more widespread in the living rooms opened to the public.
