Discover the grape variety: Fruhroter Veltliner
Structured and full dry whites with a pale, slightly rosé golden robe, an ample palate and moderate acidity, with signature aromas of almond, ripe yellow fruits (pear, peach, apricot), white flowers (acacia) and mineral notes. A sun-drenched profile appreciated in characterful artisanal cuvées. Grown mainly in Lower Austria (Kamptal, Wagram), rarer than Grüner Veltliner. Native Austrian grey grape, an early-ripening reddish-skinned mutation of Roter Veltliner.

The wine region of Côtes de Gascogne
Reference for accessible dry whites of the South-West: signature Colombard as white king — lively and aromatic with notes of lemon, grapefruit, mango, passion fruit, white flowers and a touch of green citrus, brisk acidity and moderate alcohol (9-11%) — a gourmet aperitif. Straight Ugni Blanc in the blend, more floral Sauvignon and rounder Gros Manseng as complements. A few honeyed sweet wines. Vast Gers IGP (Armagnac), oceanic climate, clay-limestone soils.
The wine region of Comté Tolosan
IGP covering all of southwest France across 12 departments, a broad and accessible palette. On the Garonne right bank, supple reds dominate: signature Merlot with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa and a herbaceous touch, round tannins. Firm Cabernet, spicy Syrah, tannic local Tannat. Left bank for whites: vivid Colombard and Gros Manseng (citrus, grapefruit, exotic fruits), aromatic Sauvignon.
The word of the wine: Venaison
Applied to the bouquet of a wine reminiscent of the smell of big game.
