Discover the grape variety: Gros Bourgogne
Simple, dry and fresh whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of Burgundy. Rare French white variety, once grown in Burgundy and the central regions.

The word of the wine: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
