The wine region of Côtes du Vivarais
Rhodanian AOP above the Ardèche gorges (Gras plateau, argilo-calcareous soils, Mistral, Mediterranean): Grenache and Syrah as signature reds, complemented by Cinsault and Marselan — profile of fleshy dark fruits and spiced notes, fairly firm tannins balanced by pleasant freshness, Grenache providing structure and warmth, Syrah adding a northern peppery note. Grenache Blanc with Clairette, Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne as floral whites.
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: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
