Discover the grape variety: Léon Millot
Coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, showing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, sweet spices and earthy, slightly foxy notes. Round palate, best drunk young. Very cold- and disease-resistant interspecific variety, driving northern vineyards: Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia), the US North-East and England. Hybrid created in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace, full sibling of maréchal foch.

The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
