Lively, understated whites with a tender palate and fresh acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, hay and typical mineral notes. Light and refreshing finish. Made as easy dry whites and more structured lees-aged cuvées. Star of Alsace AOC (one of the historic varieties), absolute signature of German Franconia (Silvaner on shell-limestone soils) and present in Austria and Switzerland. Central European variety of Austrian origin.

The wine region of Vin de France

The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.

The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness

A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
