Courbu noir is a grape variety with red and bronze leaves. It originates from the Pyrenean vineyards where it occupies a little more than one hectare. It is completely different from the white Courbu. The adult leaves have five lobes and a petiolar sinus. The berries of the Courbu Noir are round. The berries are small, as are the clusters. The beginning of the veins and the petiolar point are red. The shoots of this grape variety bend to form a parasol. To hope for a significant harvest, it is important to prune it long. Its budburst period begins 3 days after Chasselas. As for its maturity, it is the third period. This variety is very sensitive to oidium, but it does not fear mildew very much. It produces light and fine wines. It is not very colourful and does not contain enough alcohol. Courbu Noir has two approved clones, 728 and 729.

The wine region of Coteaux Champenois

Coteaux Champenois is an appellation that geographically covers the same area as the Champagne appellation of France. Coteaux Champenois covers non-Sparkling wines, including red, white and rosé, but the latter two are produced in very small quantities. The authorised production area covers almost the entire region, although in practice the Grapes come from the west of the Champagne region. Because it is spread over 319 communes, the Coteaux Champenois catchment area has distinct climatic variations.

The wine region of Champagne

Champagne is the name of the world's most famous Sparkling wine, the appellation under which it is sold and the French wine region from which it comes. Although it has been used to refer to sparkling wines around the world - a point of controversy and legal wrangling in recent decades - Champagne is a legally controlled and restricted name. See the labels of Champagne wines. The fame and success of Champagne is, of course, the product of many Complex factors.

The word of the wine: Véraison

A phase in the vegetative cycle of the vine that takes place in summer, usually in August, when the grapes change colour from green to red (for reds) or yellow (for whites). This stage heralds the beginning of ripening.
