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: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
