Full-bodied, tannic wines with dark fruits and spices, historic family vineyards at the foot of the Boston Mountains, continental climate for rustic varieties.
The wine region of Arkansas
Oldest wine state in the American South, cradle of the state's first AVA (Altus, 1984) on the Ozark foothills with a Swiss-German heritage (Wiederkehr, Post). Dominant French hybrids: Chambourcin as ruby red king with cherry, blackberry, pepper and a smoky touch, supple tannins; Cynthiana/Norton full-bodied with wild berries and spice; Vidal Blanc and Seyval Blanc taut with citrus. Native Muscadine fruity and sweet. Cabernet and Chardonnay as vinifera.
The word of the wine: Cuvée prestige (champagne)
Vintage or not, it is composed of a selection of terroirs and generally comes from the first press after eliminating the very first juices that come out of the press. The best known? Dom Pérignon, Cristal de Roederer, Grand Siècle de Laurent-Perrie, Louise at Pommery. In fact, all the houses and most of the independent winegrowers have their own prestige cuvee.
