TRADITIONAL VARIETIES
On request we can multiply any grape variety other than those mentioned below.
Here you will find the non-exhaustive list of the different varieties that we multiply. Each grape variety is characterized by its own cultural (vigor, productivity and precocity) and oenological (alcoholic, phenolic and aromatic potential) abilities.
To make the most of your terroir by harvesting grapes as often as possible, we can advise you on the varietal choice.
THE WHITES
This grape variety, cultivated in Burgundy, results, according to published genetic analyzes, from a cross between Pinot and Gouais B. Aligoté B is a semi-fine white grape, quite productive, which gives clear white wines, acidic, fresh and light.
Grenache Blanc is used for the production of natural sweet wines but also allows to obtain interesting dry white wines, long on the palate, possessing fat and fullness but sometimes lacking a little acidity.

Resistant to drought, the Muscat of Alexandria promises berries with very sweet pulp, juicy and firm, protected by a thin skin. The fruits are medium in size and gather in compact, narrow and long clusters of medium reach. The musky flavor ensures very good natural sweet wines.
This grape allows the production of very elegant, very fine, balanced and distinctive dry white wines. The varietal aromas of Sauvignon B, especially present in the wine in the first years, are quite specific and may present nuances depending on the terroir, the vintage and the growing conditions.

This vigorous, fertile and productive grape variety should be pruned short and preferably reserved for infertile and stony soils. Marsanne B makes it possible to produce dry or sparkling white wines, quite elegant, moderately or slightly acidic, with fine aromas. Associated with Roussane B, they give light wines with aromas of yellow fruits, white fruits and flowers.

This very vigorous variety sometimes presents a sensitivity to coulure and difficulties of hardening. It is better suited to slightly acidic, gravelly, stony (pebble) soils than to very chalky white soils. Grenache N makes it possible to obtain natural sweet wines and very great structured and aromatic wines for aging on condition of implanting it on qualitative terroirs and obtaining a good color.
