Discover the grape variety: Tannat meunier
Deeply coloured and structured reds with a dense purple colour, firm and solid tannins, a powerful palate with preserved acidity, and signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), spices and garrigue notes. Rare profile, close to classic Tannat. A rare felty-leafed (meunier) variation of Tannat, now marginal, preserved in South-West varietal collections for its heritage value and studied for its genetic interest.

The wine region of Rheingau
Historic cradle of great German Riesling: age-worthy whites of rare precision, from taut dry (Trocken) to botrytised sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, TBA) with notes of peach, citrus, acacia honey, noble petrol and slatey minerality. Riesling king on ~80% of the vineyard. Also Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 8%), notably the fine, silky Assmannshausen. 3,100 ha on south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine (Hesse).
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
