Discover the grape variety: Vermentino
The vermentino grape variety was widespread in Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. Today, Vermentino is grown in the regions bordering the Mediterranean, mainly in Provence (Côtes de Provence, Bellet), Corsica (Corse Calvi), Languedoc (Côtes du Roussillon, Costières de Nîmes) and the Rhône Valley (Côtes du Luberon). Because it ripens late, Vermentino requires a warm climate for its development and can only be grown in regions with good sun exposure. Conversely, cold or temperate climates do not allow it to ripen properly. Vermentino is only susceptible to powdery mildew. When vinified on its own, Vermentino produces a single-variety dry white wine that is light and full-bodied with a pale yellow color. It can also be blended with other grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache, in which case its low acidity makes it light and fresh. Vermentino belongs to the grape varieties of Ajaccio, Corsica and Corbières. The aromas released by this variety are multiple. One can detect notes of fresh apple, green almond, sweet spices, hawthorn, ripe pear and fresh pineapple.

The wine region of Cabardès
Cabardes is a relatively small appellation for red and rosé wines produced in the hills just North of Carcassonne in Southern France. The appellation was introduced in 1999, to represent and ensure the quality of the wines, which have been produced here since Roman times. The Languedoc-Roussillon/cabards">Cabardès catchment area, situated in the foothills of the Montagne Noire, is on the border between the Languedoc-Roussillon and the South West of France. This dual identity is reflected in the Grape varieties that make up the wines of the appellation: Grenache and Syrah from the south and east of France; Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the southwest and Bordeaux.

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: Grenache gris
A grey variety of Grenache grown in the Pyrénées-Orientales, the Aude and the southern Rhône valley. Its powerful and round wines are used in the blending of dry white or rosé wines and natural sweet wines.
