Discover the grape variety: Oberlin noir
Interspecific crossing between riparia Millardet and gamay obtained by Philip Christian Oberlin (1831-1915) who also created in 1897 the Oberlin Viticultural Institute in Colmar (Haut Rhin). This direct-producing hybrid was widely multiplied in the northeast region of France, from Alsace to Burgundy, also in the Loire Valley and in the Centre where our photographs were taken. Today, Oberlin noir is practically no longer cultivated, but a few vines exist here and there, producing very pleasant, albeit atypical, wines. It is nevertheless registered in the Official Catalogue of Vine Varieties, list A1. - Synonymy: 595 Oberlin (for all the synonyms of the grape varieties, click here!).

The wine region of Grand Roussillon
Grand Roussillon is a Sweet, high Alcohol white wine produced in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is a natural sweet wine made by Mutage, which gives it an alcohol content of about 16% and a high natural residual sugar content. Some Grand Roussillon wines are produced using a prolonged oxidative ageing process, such as Rancio; all are subject to a minimum of two years' ageing before being released for sale. The main Grape varieties used to make this relatively rare wine are Muscat Blanc, Muscat d'Alexandrie, Grenache, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Maccabeu.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc (formerly Coteaux du Languedoc) is a key appellation used in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of southern France. It covers Dry table wines of all three colors (red, white and rosé) from the entire region, but leaves Sweet and Sparkling wines to other more specialized appellations. About 75% of all Languedoc wines are red, with the remaining 25% split roughly down the middle between whites and rosés. The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.
The word of the wine: Elegant
Said of a wine that, beyond balance, presents qualities of charm and harmony, without the slightest heaviness.
