Discover the grape variety: Ravat
Simple and fruity whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated aromas of white fruits and hybrid notes. Productive and disease resistant. Grown in negligible quantities in France and Canada (Quebec) for continental-climate vineyards, bearing witness to the history of post-phylloxera French hybridization. Family of French hybrid varieties obtained by Jean-François Ravat in the early 20th century.

The wine region of Pommard Premier Cru
28 Premier Cru climats over 115 ha in Côte de Beaune, Pommard exclusively red in Pinot Noir: robust and tannic reds with intense garnet robe, nose of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, blond tobacco and leather. Northern climats (Épenots, Pézerolles) finer, southern climats (Rugiens, Jarolières) more powerful toward Volnay. Dense and structured palate, demanding tannins when young, aging 10-20+ years evolving toward game, leather and spices. Muscular Burgundian signature.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Short
