Discover the grape variety: Peloursin
Peloursin is an ancient grape variety from the Grésivaudant Valley in Isère. Its bunches are of medium size. They are conical-cylindrical, compact and winged. The berries are rather large and covered with a thin bluish-black or rarely grey skin. The peloursin is now endangered. It only occupies half a hectare and is almost never propagated. This variety buds late. The grapes can be picked from the twentieth day after the chasselas harvest. Peloursin's bearing is somewhat sloping. This variety is very vigorous and can become very productive over the years as its stocks become larger and larger. However, it must be protected from black rot and grey rot, which it is particularly afraid of. The wine produced from Peloursin has a fairly good colour, astringent but still ordinary.

The wine region of Puglia
Puglia (Apulia to many English speakers) is a Long, slender wine region in the extreme Southeast corner of Italy's "boot". To use the shoe analogy often used to illustrate the shape of Italy, Apulia extends from the tip of the heel to the mid-calf, where the spur of the Gargano Peninsula juts out into the Adriatic Sea. The heel (the Salento peninsula) occupies the southern half of the region and is of great importance for the identity of Puglia. Not only are there cultural and geographical differences from Northern Puglia, but the wines are also different.
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
