The wine region of Asturies
Green region of the Spanish Atlantic north-west, with heroic mountain viticulture (350–700 m, slopes >30%) on schist soils in the south-west, a cool oceanic climate. Albarín Blanco is the autochthonous white king: taut with citrus, white flowers, green apple and an Atlantic mineral note. Mencía leads in reds with red fruits, herbs and supple tannins. Albarín Negro, Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro are rare endemic reds.
The word of the wine: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
