Discover the grape variety: Manseng
Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, fine tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant), spices and herbaceous notes. An airy, easy-drinking style. Preserved in a few heritage plots in Béarn and the French Basque Country for its historical value. A very rare autochthonous south-west variety, with no direct genetic link to the white petit and gros manseng despite the shared name.

The word of the wine: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
