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.

The word of the wine: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
