Discover the grape variety: Bonne Vituaigne
Simple, dry and fresh whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the French vineyard and is among the heritage varieties under study. Rare French white variety, once grown in western France.

The word of the wine: INAO glass
Glass adapted to wine tasting, created in the 1970s by the Institut national des appellations d'origine. At the time, it had the advantage of offering a standardised tool to all tasters. It is characterized by a wide base that allows for good ventilation and a narrow mouth (opening of the glass) to concentrate the aromas. Many high-performance glasses have been created based on this model.
