French tradition
It is a tradition in France to meet at the local
bistro to relax, socialize, drink wine and dine in a casual friendly
setting. The Bistro varietals, consisting of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
and Cabernet Sauvignon, have all the right qualities
of good bistro wines: simple, delicious, fun to drink, and excellent with lots
of different foods and flavors!
The vineyards
|
The grapes for Bistro Chardonnay and Cabernet
Sauvignon come from the Languedoc, where the
varied climates and soils provide ideal sourcing for the fruit-forward,
softer style of Bistro wines. The Mediterranean climate presents a low
rainfall and winds bringing cool air down from the moutains and tempering
the summer sun. This results in nicely balanced wines with concentrated
flavours.
The grapes for Bistro Pinot Noir are
grown in the foothills near Aleria on the east coast of the island
Corsica (Isle of Beauty) framed between the mountains and
the sea. The rather cool temperatures help the grapes to develop rich
fruit-focused wines. |
