Discover the grape variety: Baco
Lively whites with pronounced acidity, a pale golden robe, a light, nervous palate, and discrete aromas of citrus (lemon) and slightly foxy hybrid notes. Disease-resistant. Mainly used for distillation into Armagnac; represents a significant share of the Landes vineyards and defines the aromatic identity of Gascon eaux-de-vie (characteristic rancio notes). French white hybrid obtained in 1898 by François Baco (folle blanche × noah).

The wine region of Ararat
Armenian valley between Mount Ararat and the Araxes river, vineyards at 1,000–1,600 m on volcanic soils (basalt, tuff, pumice), one of the world's oldest winemaking sites (Areni cave, 6,100 years old). Areni Noir is the signature native red: elegant and silky with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, spices and volcanic mineral notes, fine tannins — often compared to Pinot Noir. Voskehat textured and Kangun fresh in whites. Quality renaissance since 2000.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
