Winemaker Notes
Petit Sauvage shows blackcurrant and cassis on the nose with notes of roasted pine. The palate displays fig jam and earthy notes with a touch of rosemary and thyme toward the end.
Perfect to be paired with tomato based dishes or grilled poultry.
Petit Sauvage Rouge is an exciting new natural and certified vegan wine made from Cabernet Cortis, an extraordinary varietal with a strong resistance to vine diseases. As a result, this bright and fresh wine is made without the addition of copper and sulfur spreads in the vineyard. Less treatments result in a much smaller carbon footprint and a sustainable approach, to benefit the planet!
Vegan-Friendly
Beyond the usual suspects, there are hundreds of red grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines, while others are better suited for use as blending grapes. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles, offering much to be discovered by the curious wine lover. In particular, Portugal and Italy are known for having a multitude of unique varieties but they can really be found in any region.
A small category representing the wines that either fall outside of appellation lines or don’t subscribe to the law and traditions set forth by the French government within certain classified appellations, “Vin De France” is a catch-all that includes some of the most basic French wines as well as those of superior quality. The category includes large production, value-driven wines. It also includes some that were made with a great deal of creativity, diligence and talent by those who desire to make wine outside of governmental restrictions. These used to be called Vin de Table (table wine) but were renamed to compete with other European countries' wines of similar quality.
