Delicate and fine muscat whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, on intense and refined aromas of orange blossom, rose, fresh grape, citrus, white peach and airy muscat (more subtle than Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj). Created in the 19th century by Robert Moreau (Angers), a cross of Chasselas × Muscat de Saumur.

The wine region of Alsace
Capital of great French aromatic whites, most often dry and single-varietal. Straight, mineral Riesling (lemon, gunflint), opulent, exuberant Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose, spices), round, smoky Pinot Gris, floral, crisp Muscat, supple Pinot Blanc. Fine, fruity Crémants d'Alsace, exceptional sweet Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. 15,500 ha at the foot of the Vosges on varied soils, 51 Grands Crus since 1975.
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
