Discover the grape variety: Heroldrebe
Light, fruity reds with intense ruby colour, silky tannins and a supple palate, showing simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), plum, soft spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching style to drink young. Now marginal in Germany, preserved for its genetic value in varietal collections and as a parent of Dornfelder (with Helfensteiner). German variety created in 1929 at Weinsberg (Portugieser × Blaufränkisch).

Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Serious
A Bordeaux term for small pebbles from the Pyrenees, eroded, rounded and transported by the Garonne to Aquitaine. They are mainly found on the left bank in the area.... known as the Graves, and further downstream in the Médoc. By extension, gravel is found in other regions, brought by other rivers or even glaciers.
