Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Côtes de Toul
Lorraine AOC between Toul and the Meuse (~75 ha, vineyard sung by Ausonius in 350 AD), semi-continental cool climate, clay-limestone hillsides. Vin gris signature speciality: pale rosé blending Gamay (<=85%) and Pinot Noir (>=10%) by direct pressing — fresh and fruity with raspberry, redcurrant, citrus and floral touch, lively thirst-quenching finish. Ample Auxerrois in white and airy Pinot Noir in light red. Revived Lorraine identity, everyday wine.
The wine region of Moselle
World benchmark for cool-climate German Riesling, on vertiginous blue and grey slate slopes. Pure, precise whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and marked chalky minerality ("gunflint"), low alcohol (~8-10%), taut acidity and crystalline tension. From dry Kabinett to sweet Auslese, up to luscious Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. Also Müller-Thurgau and Elbling.
The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
