Simple and lively dry whites with a pale golden colour, juicy palate and refreshing acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbaceous notes. Thirst-quenching profile to drink young, long used as a table and blending grape in Provence. Now almost extinct, preserved in a few heritage plots in the Var and in ampelographic collections. An indigenous French white variety from Provence.

Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
