Discover the grape variety: Colombaud
Simple and lively dry whites with a pale golden colour, juicy palate and refreshing acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbaceous notes. Thirst-quenching profile to drink young, long used as a table and blending grape in Provence. Now almost extinct, preserved in a few heritage plots in the Var and in ampelographic collections. An indigenous French white variety from Provence.

The wine region of Valais
Switzerland's largest vineyard, capital of native grapes. Straight, precise alpine whites: light, floral Chasselas (Fendant), signature Petite Arvine with saline, grapefruit and rhubarb notes, rich, apricoty Amigne, mineral Humagne Blanche. Altitude reds: fine Pinot Noir, crisp Gamay, native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge, spicy and deep. Highly precise alpine age-worthy wines.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
