Discover the grape variety: Bourboulenc
Bourboulenc is mainly grown in the southern part of France. It is a white grape variety that ripens quite late. It can only be harvested around 25 September and for an average of only one month. Bourboulenc is particularly fond of low-lying, but at the same time warm and dry locations. The aroma of this grape variety is not very pronounced, but it has a certain exotic fruit and floral aroma such as broom. The result is a low alcohol wine with subtle and fleeting aromas. Blanquette, bourboulanc, bourboulenque, doucillon, clairette dorée and clairette blanche are all names that can designate bourboulenc. This grape variety is very sensitive to diseases common to all vine plants such as magnesium deficiency, mildew and oidium. Bourboulenc can be used as a table grape. Most French people keep the bunches until Christmas in order to present them on the festive table as desserts.

The wine region of Calvados
Normandy is a region in northern France, roughly corresponding to the historic duchy from which William the Conqueror went to England to seize the throne in 1066. It is divided into two administrative regions, Upper Normandy and Lower Normandy. The region is home to countless orchards and is known (like its neighbour Brittany) for its cider and perry, a type of cider made from pears. Many varieties of cider apples used throughout the world come from this region.
The word of the wine: Ample
