Simple, lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Vigorous and productive, once distilled in Cognac. Now marginal but preserved in Cognaçais varietal collections, a witness to Charentes heritage. French autochthonous variety from the South-West, father of Admirable de Courtiller via a cross with Chasselas.

Cool-climate sub-AVA of the Finger Lakes (NY, 2003) around the largest eponymous glacial lake (180 m deep): signature Riesling as white king — vibrant and aromatic with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, peach and pronounced schist minerality, signature chiseled acidity and range from dry to dessert. Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and hybrids complement. AVA, moderating lake effect, extended season, schist soils.
The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
