Fine ageing potential with oak maturation. Star of Bulgaria's great reds around Asenovgrad (Thrace) and driver of the Bulgarian wine renaissance.

The wine region of Illinois

Midwestern US wine state, humid continental climate requiring robust hybrid varieties. Signature Chambourcin in red: fruity and accessible with signature black cherry, raspberry, plum, fresh herbs and a peppery touch, supple tannins and lively acidity — the local standard. Dense, deeply coloured Norton (blackberry, coffee), fruity Frontenac, spicy Foch. Whites: ample Chardonel, honeyed sweet Vidal Blanc, aromatic Vignoles, opulent Traminette, lively Seyval Blanc.

The word of the wine: Reims Mountain

Between Épernay and Reims, a large limestone massif with varied soils and exposure where pinot noir reigns supreme. Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay, Verzy, etc., are equivalent to the Burgundian Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. There are also great Chardonnays, which are rarer (Mailly, Marmery, Trépail, Villers).
