Discover the grape variety: Melon de Bourgogne

Dry, vivid and saline whites with a pale robe, slender mouthfeel and sharp acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, cut grass, iodine and marine mineral notes. Fine lees ageing adds richness and a brioche complexity. The absolute star of Muscadet AOC and Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine AOC. An autochthonous Burgundian variety (Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc), exiled to the Pays Nantais in the 17th century.

The wine region of Adelaide Hills

South Australian showcase of fresh high-altitude whites: signature Sauvignon Blanc as white king (~30%) — lively and crisp with notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, cut grass and a mineral touch, taut acidity. Racy Chardonnay (citrus, peach, minerality), airy Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth) and spicy Shiraz as complement. Renowned traditional-method sparklers. Hills east of Adelaide (Mount Lofty Ranges, 400-650 m), among the coolest in Australia.


The wine region of Australie du Sud

Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.

The word of the wine: Burned

Qualifier, sometimes equivocal, of various odors, ranging from caramel to burnt wood.
