Discover the grape variety: Barbera blanche
Crisp, taut whites with a marked acidity, showing discreet aromas of green apple, citrus, white flowers and fresh herbal notes. Neutral and refreshing profile. Preserved in confidential parcels in Piedmont (Monferrato, Alessandria) for its heritage value, subject to ampelographic studies. Very rare autochthonous Piedmontese variety, with no genetic link to black barbera despite the shared name.

The wine region of Margaux
Most feminine Médoc appellation (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux): Cabernet Sauvignon signature as the red king — elegant and refined with notes of cassis, blackberry, cedar, violet, graphite and a spicy touch, fine silky signature tannins, dazzling floral bouquet and aristocratic finish. Merlot and Petit Verdot complete the blend. AOC (1954), ~1,413 ha across 5 communes, 21 Crus Classés 1855 including Premier Cru Château Margaux, the stoniest Quaternary gravels in the Médoc.
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
