Discover the grape variety: Crouchen
Fresh and barely aromatic dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with discreet aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. A rustic thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Now rare in France, still grown in South Africa (Crouchen Blanc) and Australia (mistakenly called Clare Riesling), producing simple whites. Native French white grape from the Pyrenees, once grown in Béarn and the South-West.

The wine region of Saint-Joseph
Northern Rhône cru on the right bank (Ardèche, Loire): signature Syrah as the exclusive king red - refined and structured with notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), raspberry, violet, pepper, spices, liquorice and an undergrowth touch, softer tannins than Cornas or Hermitage, seductive fruit-structure balance. Marsanne and Roussanne in ample whites (peach, apricot, honey, white flowers). AOC (1956) over 26 communes, south-facing slopes, granite, schist and gneiss. Ageing 3-10 years.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Noble rot
A fungus called botrytis cinerea that develops during the over-ripening phase, an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
