Discover the grape variety: Hibou noir

Light and simply fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, featuring undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage grape varieties under study. Rare French black grape, once grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Marlborough

World reference for Sauvignon Blanc: aromatic, exuberant whites with signature notes of passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and cut grass, sharp lively acidity and an iodised finish. King grape on 71% of the vineyard since 1972. Also fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, plum, spice), taut Chardonnay and lively Riesling. Traditional-method sparklers on the rise.


The wine region of South Island

New Zealand's southern island, cradle of the country's great wines. Sauvignon Blanc signature in Marlborough (~80% of national vineyard): explosive and tropical with grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, cut grass and mineral touch — global benchmark. Pinot Noir star in Central Otago (among the most southerly) and Waipara: airy with cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, thyme. Taut Riesling, precise Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris.
