The wine region of San Rafael
Argentine region south of Mendoza, altitude vineyards (400-800 m) between Andes and Pampa, 2nd Argentine DOC.

Firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, eucalyptus), supple fruity Bonarda, fresh Chenin and ample Chardonnay in whites. Dry climate with strong thermal amplitudes, Andes-irrigated.
The wine region of Mendoza
World capital of Malbec: powerful, deep reds with blackberry, plum, violet and sweet spice, round tannins and vivid fruit. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple, juicy Bonarda, aromatic floral white Torrontés. High-altitude vineyards (800-1,700 m) at the foot of the Andes, dry continental climate irrigated by glacial waters. ~80% of Argentine output across 150,000 ha.
The word of the wine: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
