Discover the grape variety: Dan ben Hannah
Simple, light, fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of southern red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections; it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of south-east France and is among the heritage varieties studied for their genetic interest. A rare French black grape, once grown in the south-east.

The word of the wine: Grand Cru
In Burgundy, the fourth and final level of classification (above the regional, communal and premier cru appellations), designating the wines produced on delimited plots of land (the climats) whose name alone constitutes the appellation. The climats classified as Grand Cru are 32 in the Côte d'Or plus one in Chablis which is divided into 7 distinct climats. Representing barely 1.5% of the production, the Grand Crus are the aristocracy of Burgundy wines.
