Discover the grape variety: Verdesse

Verdesse is a white grape variety, grown on an area of about 5 ha. It is found particularly in the Grésivaudan and Drac valleys. It is also called verdêche, étraire blanche de Grenoble or verdasse. The leaves are lobed and dark green in colour. Long, sturdy stalks carry the bunches. A juicy and sweet flesh is found under the white skin, turning amber red, of the mature berries. The berries are medium-sized and ellipsoid in shape. To be productive and vigorous, the variety is pruned rather long. Verdesse is not very resistant to mildew and powdery mildew, but it is very resistant to grey rot. A particularly alcoholic wine is produced from this variety. It has a pleasant flavour and a vegetal and floral scent. This wine does not keep long, and is best consumed during the first few years.

The wine region of Rivesaltes

Rivesaltes is an appellation for the historic Sweet wines of eastern Roussillon, in the DeepSouth of France. The natural sweet wines produced in this region have been revered since at least the 14th century. The technique used to make them is one of many techniques used for sweet wines. Unlike botrytized wines or ice wines, natural sweet wines are made by Mutage, a process that involves stopping the Fermentation of the must while a high level of natural sweetness remains.


The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc (formerly Coteaux du Languedoc) is a key appellation used in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of southern France. It covers Dry table wines of all three colors (red, white and rosé) from the entire region, but leaves Sweet and Sparkling wines to other more specialized appellations. About 75% of all Languedoc wines are red, with the remaining 25% split roughly down the middle between whites and rosés. The appellation covers most of the Languedoc region and almost a third of all the vineyards in France.
