Light, lively whites to drink young with a pale golden colour, airy palate with preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of citrus and alpine white flowers. Discreet Savoyard profile. Very rare, preserved for its heritage value, part of the ancient alpine varieties studied for their genetic and ampelographic interest in French collections. Rare French white variety, sometimes given as a synonym for the Savoyard Mondeuse Blanche.

The wine region of Galilee
Israel's wine heartland in the north, a benchmark quality zone. Powerful, structured reds with signature notes of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, dark chocolate, herbes de Provence and spices, firm tannins and a sun-soaked palate. Dominant international grapes: dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot, peppery Syrah and colourful Petit Verdot. Round Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon Blanc whites.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
