Discover the grape variety: Aubin blanc

Simple, fresh, dry whites for early drinking with a pale golden hue, supple palate and moderate acidity, showing discreet aromas of citrus and white flowers typical of Lorraine. Light, thirst-quenching profile. Sensitive to powdery mildew, preserved by growers of the Côtes-de-Toul AOC in Lorraine. Native Lorraine white grape, a cross of Pinot noir × Gouais blanc, thus related to Chardonnay and Aligoté, grown in Rozérieulles, Bruley and Bulligny.

The wine region of Moon Mountain District

Altitude AVA (200-2200 ft, AVA 2013) on the Mayacamas in Sonoma: signature Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel — intensely concentrated reds with deep black fruits, structured tannins from small thick-skinned berries on rocky volcanic soils rich in iron. Above the Sonoma fog, long season and south-west exposure. Also rich Syrah. Comparable to great Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder terroirs, signature long cellaring.


The wine region of California

Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).

The word of the wine: Performance

Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
