Discover the grape variety: Bertille Seyve 872
Colourful, simple fruity reds with a light purple robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red and black fruits. Early-ripening and productive. Now marginal, surviving in a few varietal collections and bearing witness to the history of post-phylloxera hybridisation in France. French black hybrid obtained in the early 20th century by Bertille Seyve, an interspecific disease-resistant cross.

The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
The word of the wine: Petite arvine
An ancient white grape variety from the Valais (Switzerland), which produces renowned wines suitable for ageing. Viney and sustained by a strong vivacity, these wines express a fine salty touch, the signature of this variety. Petite arvine wines can be dry, tender or made from withered grapes from late harvesting. Syn.: arvine.
