Discover the grape variety: Couderc 4401
Coloured, simple fruity reds with a light purple robe, soft tannins and an airy palate, showing undemanding aromas of red and black fruits. Productive. Marginal today, surviving in a few French varietal collections, it testifies to the history of post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid bred by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century, in the lineage of phylloxera-resistant crosses.

The wine region of Sonoma Valley
Historic cradle of Californian viticulture (Mission 1823, Buena Vista 1857, AVA 1981): over 60 grapes planted, Cabernet Sauvignon the benchmark and heritage Zinfandel the signatures — rich reds with ripe black fruit, spice and velvety tannins. Historic Chardonnay and Merlot, Syrah, Grenache and Malbec complement. Valley between the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains, varied climate from cool maritime sectors to hotter northern ones. The county's oldest AVA, a heritage identity.
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: Aroma
A pleasant smell that can be primary (or varietal, i.e. characteristic of the grape), secondary (resulting from fermentation) or tertiary (resulting from the aging of the wine in the bottle).
