Details and technical informations about Winery Regis Descotes's Gôut de Bouchons Tradition Rouge.
Discover the grape variety: Fel
Simple, fresh dry gris whites with a pale rose-copper robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, Fel is an ancient heritage variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic interest. A rare, poorly documented gris grape grown in negligible quantities.

The wine region of Coteaux du Lyonnais
Southern Beaujolais AOC on the Monts du Lyonnais, granite and schist soils, semi-continental climate. Signature Gamay as red king (whole-cluster Beaujolais-style): gulpable and fruity with red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, banana and peppery touch, fine tannins and thirst-quenching palate — accessible juicy quaffer. Also fresh, gourmand rosés. Chardonnay and Aligoté as confidential whites (apple, citrus, blossom).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
