Discover the grape variety: Courbu noir
Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate, with simple and delicate aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry) and floral notes. A rare airy profile today. Preserved for its heritage value, it survives in a few heritage parcels in Béarn among the old South-West varieties studied. The black variant of Courbu, a French native grape from Béarn and the Basque Country.

The wine region of Rheinhessen
71% white region: Riesling is king (5,000 ha), dry to off-dry, ripe yellow fruit, apple, citrus and fine saline minerality. Supple, floral Müller-Thurgau for everyday, the world's largest Silvaner plantation with herbaceous, straight notes. Historic cradle of off-sweet Liebfraumilch. Some supple reds (Dornfelder, Spätburgunder).
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
