Discover the grape variety: Muscat reine des vignes

Table grape with medium bunches and golden berries with thin skin and muscat-flavoured flesh, with a sweet aromatic flavour (rose, fresh grapes). Early ripening. Very rarely vinified, occasionally as aromatic muscat-style whites. Grown for fresh consumption in central and eastern Europe, prized for its attractive appearance and typical muscat grape flavour. Aromatic white variety sometimes listed as a synonym of Hungarian Irsai Oliver.

The wine region of Beaujolais

Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.

The word of the wine: Rafle (taste of)

A taste considered a defect, characterized by an unpleasant astringency and bitterness, brought by the stalk during the vinification process. In order to avoid it, destemming before vinification is a common practice.
