Discover the grape variety: Impératriz
A table grape with long bunches and golden berries with thin skin and juicy flesh, delivering a pleasant sweet flavour. Early-ripening. Very rarely vinified. Now rare, surviving in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections. A witness to French table-grape heritage, it is among the ancient varieties preserved for their patrimonial interest. A French white table grape, once cultivated for fresh consumption.

The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
