The wine region of Virginia
Quality pole of the American east coast, unique signature in Viognier: ample, fragrant whites with notes of apricot, white peach, honey and flowers, silky on the palate. Cabernet Franc star in red, fine and fresh (raspberry, ripe pepper, spices). Also dense Petit Verdot, round Merlot, balanced Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc and native Norton. Humid continental climate tempered by the Appalachians, 8 AVAs (Monticello, Shenandoah).
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
