Discover the grape variety: Carcajolo noir
Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity on cherry, Mediterranean herbs and notes of Corsican maquis. Airy profile. Preserved for its patrimonial value in the Corsican CRVI collections and on a few parcels of growers attached to insular ampelography. Autochthonous black Corsican variety (synonym of Carcajolo Nero), grown in confidential quantities in Corse-du-Sud.

The wine region of Châtillon-en-Diois

Gamay is the signature red (≥75 %) — fruity profile of fresh red fruits with spicy notes preserved by night-time coolness. Pinot Noir and Syrah complement. Aligoté and Chardonnay make fresh, aromatic whites without blending constraints.

France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
