Aromatic, structured whites with an ample palate and moderate acidity, with intense, muscat-like aromas of yellow peach, apricot, exotic fruits (pineapple, mango), white flowers, honey and discreet herbal notes. Made as both expressive dry whites and sweet wines. A very early, mildew- and powdery-mildew-resistant interspecific variety, driving organic viticulture in northern regions (Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, UK). Created in 1975 in Freiburg (Merzling × Geisenheim 6493).

The wine region of Val de Loire

France's most diverse vineyard, 800 km along the Loire (~48,300 ha). Flagship whites: lively, mineral Sauvignon from Sancerre-Pouilly (citrus, boxwood, gunflint), Loire Chenin from vibrant dry to noble sweet wines (quince, honey, taut acidity), Melon de Bourgogne of saline Muscadet on lees. Cabernet Franc reds (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur-Champigny): raspberry, bell pepper, graphite, silky tannins. Sparkling Cremants with brioche-apple notes.

The word of the wine: Wooded

A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
