Discover the grape variety: Arbois
Arbois is a white grape variety of French origin, in Touraine. Its name comes from orboué, a local patois word. It is recommended in the departments of Indre, Indre-et-Vallée de la Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Vallée de la Loiret, Deux-Sèvres and Vienne, and is listed as a grape variety in the Touraine, Touraine Sparkling, Cheverny and Valencay AOCs. Arbois is not widely cultivated in France, covering about 650 hectares, 600 of which are in the Loir-et-Cher region. It is a vigorous variety, but moderately productive (40 to 80 hectoliters per hectare). It is part of the grape varieties used for Vouvray, Crémant de la Loire Valley, Cheverny and Valençay wines. It gives a wine with little acidity, dry, fresh and supple. It is mainly used in blending. This grape variety from the Centre region should not be confused with the vineyard and wine of Arbois, in the Jura.

The wine region of Vin de France
Vin de France is the most basic level of quality for wines from France. These are generally uncomplicated everyday drinks - most often blends, but perhaps also Varietal wines based on a well-known Grape variety such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Wines from France are those that do not meet the criteria stipulated by the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) laws (see information on French wine labels). This may be because the vineyards are outside the delimited production areas or because the grape varieties or winemaking techniques used do not conform to the rules of the local appellations.

How’s the weather been this year?

It takes a lot to make a wine-grower feel that. He wasn’t alone. Jeremiads echo around the northern hemisphere as 2021 closes. It’s been the year of all the miseries. None suffered more horribly than the growers of Germany’s Ahr valley, where floodwaters caused by the fou ...

The word of the wine: Viscosity
Consistency of wine reminiscent of the tactile sensation of sugar syrup with varying degrees of fluidity, due to the alcohol and natural sugar in the grapes present in sweet wines. In excess, this sensation can make the wine pasty and heavy. To the eye, viscosity is referred to as tears.
