Discover the grape variety: Manseng
Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, fine tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant), spices and herbaceous notes. An airy, easy-drinking style. Preserved in a few heritage plots in Béarn and the French Basque Country for its historical value. A very rare autochthonous south-west variety, with no direct genetic link to the white petit and gros manseng despite the shared name.

The wine region of Leelanau Peninsula
Michigan AVA on a peninsula between Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay (45 deg N, latitude of Bordeaux). Riesling reigns as a white star: taut and aromatic with signature notes of white apple, peach, lemon, white flowers and a mineral touch, lively and long palate — from dry to medium-sweet to ice wine. Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose). Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and Gamay emerging.
The wine region of Michigan
Midwestern wine state on the 45th parallel (Burgundy, Piedmont), tempered by the Great Lakes (lake effect). Signature Riesling: precise, taut whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white peach, white flowers and saline minerality, crisp acidity - from dry to off-dry. Also ample Chardonnay, perfumed Pinot Gris, opulent Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose). Fresh, silky Pinot Noir in red.
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.
