Discover the grape variety: Bicane
Simple, lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Vigorous and productive, once distilled in Cognac. Now marginal but preserved in Cognaçais varietal collections, a witness to Charentes heritage. French autochthonous variety from the South-West, father of Admirable de Courtiller via a cross with Chasselas.

The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
