Discover the grape variety: Verjus
A very high-acid variety grown not for wine but for verjuice production — the tart unripe grape juice used in traditional cooking to acidify sauces and meats. Now virtually extinct, it bears witness to French gastronomic and viticultural heritage and is preserved in varietal collections for its historical interest. A historic French white grape specific to medieval verjuice.

The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
