Discover the grape variety: Jurançon noir
Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate of simple red fruits (raspberry, cherry), gentle spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Once widespread in the South-West, now marginal, preserved in a few heritage parcels in Béarn and Bigorre. Native French grape of the South-West, not to be confused with the Jurançon appellation (white wines).

Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Filling
Gentle transfer from one barrel to another to oxygenate the wine, eliminate some of the lees and reduce the carbon dioxide (fizz) that was released during the fermentations.
