Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and supple palate, with simple aromas of red fruit (cherry, raspberry) and floral notes. An airy profile with light colour, very rare. Preserved for its heritage value, it survives in a few confidential plots within Gaillac AOC and Limoux AOC. A dark-skinned mutation of Mauzac Blanc, an indigenous French variety from the South-West studied for its genetic interest.

The wine region of Applegate Valley
Warm AVA of the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon: signature emblematic Tempranillo — expressive reds with red and black fruits, spices and structured tannins, Spanish identity thriving on marked diurnal swings. Also Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Pinot Noir. Rhône Viognier, Chardonnay, Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc as aromatic whites. Short season and cool nights favouring intermediate varieties, eclectic meridional identity.
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
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.
