Discover the grape variety: Valdiguié
Supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, melted tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, cherry, strawberry), soft spices and floral notes. A light, thirst-quenching style, best drunk young, often by carbonic maceration. Grown in California as "Napa Gamay" and in Languedoc IGPs. An autochthonous south-west variety once ubiquitous in France, now in revival for modern cuvées.

The word of the wine: Liquid
Sweet wine containing more than 50 grams of residual sugar per liter. Sweet wines are made from grapes often affected by botrytis cinerea and concentrated either by passerillage (drying of the grapes on the vine stock), or after the harvest (straw wines), or by the cold (ice wines).
