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 wine region of Willamette Valley
World benchmark for Pinot Noir outside Burgundy: elegant, fine reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, undergrowth, damp earth and sweet spices, silky tannins and acidity preserved by the cool climate. Star grape on volcanic soils (Jory), Burgundian latitude (45°). Also taut Chardonnay in full quality rise, round Pinot Gris and lively Riesling. Oregon's main AVA (240 km between Coast Range and Cascades).
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
