Discover the grape variety: Chancellor
Cross between 5163 Seibel (2 Gaillard x 2510 Seibel) and 880 Seibel (28112 Couderc x 2003 Seibel) obtained by Albert Seibel (1844-1936). It was the first direct-producing hybrid cultivated in France and has now practically disappeared. It can still be found in a few old vines in the form of isolated strains. It can be found in the United States (New York, etc.) and in Canada, where it is part of the grape varieties grown on a large number of vineyards.

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.
The word of the wine: Noble rot
A fungus called botrytis cinerea that develops during the over-ripening phase, an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
