Discover the grape variety: Couderc 4401
An interspecific cross made in 1884 by Georges Couderc (1850-1928) between chasselas rose and rupestris. This direct-producing hybrid was multiplied much more in the south-west of France and in the Loire Valley, and in some cases was even used as rootstock. François Baco (1865-1947) and Vincent Malègue (1830-1915) also used it as a progenitor. - Synonymy: red bird, tank, Terray hybrid, malafosse, oazo rukh, sakhotin (for all the grape variety synonyms, click here!). - Description: small to medium-sized bunches, cylindrical-conical, winged, more or less compact, sometimes with small green berries, medium-sized stalks remaining green when ripe; small, spherical berries, beautiful bluish-black skin, very pruinose, pulpy, with coloured juice.

The wine region of Piedmont
Piedmont (Piemonte) holds an unrivalled place among the world's finest wine regions. Located in northwestern Italy, it is home to more DOCG wines than any other Italian region, including such well-known and respected names as Barolo, Barbaresco and Barbera d'Asti. Though famous for its Austere, Tannic, Floral">floral reds made from Nebbiolo, Piedmont's biggest success story in the past decade has been Moscato d'Asti, a Sweet, Sparkling white wine. Piedmont Lies, as its name suggests, at the foot of the Western Alps, which encircle its northern and western sides and form its naturally formidable border with Provence, France.
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
