Discover the grape variety: Muscadoule
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. A rare French white grape variety once cultivated in the South-West.

The wine region of Côtes-du-Rhône
Accessible reference for Mediterranean reds: dominant Grenache as king (≥50% in the south) - supple and fruity with notes of cherry, strawberry, garrigue, pepper and a touch of sweet spices, round tannins. Fleshy Syrah (blackcurrant, violet, black pepper), dense Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Carignan in support. In the north, racy, deep Syrah solo. Generous rosés and floral whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier).
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: Sulphating
Treatment, formerly practiced with copper sulfate, applied to the vine to prevent cryptogamic diseases.
